The first 3 books (The Iron King, The Strangled Queen, The Poisoned Crown) are available now (on Amazon, or on the shelves at B&N) (or of course if you read French you can get the whole series in the original). Mar 10, 2013 - But that's about to change, thanks to my own British publisher, HarperCollins, who are bringing THE ACCURSED KINGS back into print at long last in a series of handsome new hardbacks. Dec 23, 2013 - With Richard's Witch Hunters on his heels, he sets out to gather his allies. Jun 26, 2009 - The second in Maurice Druon's Accursed Kings series, The Strangled Queen picks up the story of France's Louis X and his wife Marguerite of Burgundy from the first volume, The Iron King where her affair with a young courtier was discovered. To me, the whole book reads like one giant set up and exposition for the rest of the series. Apr 9, 2014 - An even better analogue is Maurice Druon's “Accursed Kings” series, about the lead-up to the Hundred Years' War, which is FINALLY getting re-translated into English. I like historical As the story starts unfolding further, the curse begins to work—and, reminiscent to Agatha Christies “And then there were none,” –the recipients of the curse start to die one by one. As a result I think he has one serious flaw though – the tendency to yank the reader out of the story with information on future events or commentary on history's view of the events he has just covered. Mar 12, 2013 - The Iron King is the first novel in a seven book series of historical novels entitled The Accursed Kings (“Les Rois Maudits”) by French author Maurice Druon. I've said it before on the blog and elsewhere, Sarah is one of the main reasons why I've been working on my own fiction for almost three years now. Mar 26, 2013 - It was originally published in French in the 1950s, and is the first book in the Accursed Kings series (there are seven in all, and they follow the story of the dynasty after it's—you guessed it, cursed—in the first book, by the unfairly executed Grand Master Jacques de Molay). Oct 14, 2010 - The Iron King (Le Roi de Fer) is the first book of an historical French series named The Accursed Kings (Les Rois Maudits) written by Maurice Druon. Apr 23, 2013 - I guess I just really found The Iron King to be lacking. Sep 5, 2013 - The Strangled Queen is the second book in Maurice Druon's nail-biting The Accursed Kings series. It consists of seven books (of roughly 300 pages each): The Iron King/Le Roi de Fer, The Strangled Queen/La Reine Etranglée, The Poisons of the Crown/Les Poisons de la Couronne, The Royal Succession/La Loi des Mâles, The As one might suspect from the titles and the above descriptions, The Accursed Kings focuses more on the royalty and high nobility than on the common people - even Guccio Baglione is wealthy and very well-connected for a commoner. Nobody is above suspicion, from the king's heir to the tribal shaman, from the servant woman steeped in herb-lore to the visiting warlord whose unexpected arrival throws the whole tribe into confusion. The story is set in the This is one of my most favorite books.
