Another good review for
The Poisoned Cup has appeared on Amazon:-
This book is billed as the
other side of the Braveheart movie but it is a lot more accurate even though it
is historical fiction and some of the main characters didn't really exist. This
is the dark side of the Wallace story. The hero is an older knight who sees
battle for the grim result and not for glory. He tells the tale of bloodlust
driven by hate, inept commanders, and the impact on innocents. To make the
story interesting, the author includes a fictional (maybe...) heroine who is
very strong but also believable. If you are disillusioned by romantic accounts
of Falkirk and Sterling battles, read this to get closer to the real deal. I'd
like to read more by this author.
