description: Adam de Guirande has cause to believe the turbulent times are behind him: Hugh Despenser is dead and Edward II is forced to abdicate in favour of his young son. It is time to look forward to a bright new world in which the young king guided by his council heals his kingdom and restores its greatness. But the turmoil is far from over. England in the early months of 1327 is a country in need of stability and many turn with hope towards the new young king Edward III. But Edward is too young to rule so instead it is his mother Queen Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer who do the actual governing much to the dislike of barons such as Henry of Lancaster. When it is announced that Edward II has died in September of 1327 what has so far been a grumble grows into voluble protests against Mortimer. Yet again the spectre of rebellion haunts the land and things are further complicated by the reappearance of one of Adams personal enemies. Soon enough he and his beloved wife Kit are fighting for their survival  even more so when Adam is given a task that puts them both in the gravest of dangers. Under the Approaching Dark is the third in Anna Belfrages series The Kings Greatest Enemy the story of a man torn apart by his loyalties to his lord his king and his wife.
