The King’s Banquet: Based on Actual Events Summary

King James's banquet at Knockhall castle took place during a pivotal time in the history of Scotland and England. This novel, crafted in a modern and accessible tone, incorporates actual characters and true events of the day. It is a stand-alone novel in the Banquet series. 

June 1589: Lord Sinclair, proud of his castle in Aberdeenshire, hosts the banquet to celebrate peace with England and the king's impending marriage. Celebrations have to be discreet, as the country is facing political and financial turmoil, but this won't be a quiet night's celebration for the king. It can't be, not for Lord Sinclair's sake. 

The author balances documented historical records on the people and events of the day to ensure historical accuracy, blending it with a modern storytelling style that doesn't make you feel like you are reading Shakespeare. So step inside a world of kings, banquets, and extravagance. Imagine Netflix's The Crown, but set in the 16th century.
