Parke Godwin Books In Order

Beloved Exile

King Arthur is dead. Surrounded by traitors and usurpers, Guinevere must defend the empire she struggled so desperately to help forge. Aided by the loyalty of Bedivere, Gareth, Lancelot, and others from Arthur’s reign, she works toward settling her uneasy nation. But when faced with unthinkable treachery, Guinevere is swept into a life she never understood, driven to the depths of servitude to a bold Saxon who is unaware of her true identity. Much like Arthur, he is an idyllic dreamer with a magnificent mind. With him, she discovers more of humanity than she ever imagined! And we see Guinevere for all she is: brilliant leader, shrewd schemer, compassionate ruler, heartless tyrant, lover, warrior, slave and always, always a Queen.

The Last Rainbow

Journeying to a pagan world of old magic in order to spread his religious beliefs, Padree, a passionate young priest, encounters the extraordinary Dorelei, the leader of the mystical Faerie folk, who teaches him about the earth and spirituality.

Sherwood

The stirring tale of England’s artful outlaw who challenged the throne itself is known to everyone, as are Marian, the Lady he loved, Will Scatloch, Little John, and the other men who gathered around him. But where might their legend have come from? Who might the historical Robin have been all those years ago in the now famous Sherwood Forest? Parke Godwin’s Robin Hood is subtly different from the known version of the tale. His setting is shortly after the conquest of Anglo Saxon England by William of Normandy in 1066. Young Robin is a lesser Saxon landowner who must bow to a brutal king or lose everything his family and people have fought to hold. Sherwood is realistic, historical fiction of the highest order. It is a compelling, richly detailed narrative that evokes and illuminates a lost time.

Robin and the King

The adventures of Robin Hood continue, returning to Nottingham and Sherwood Forest, later in the reign of William of Normandy who had conquered the Anglo Saxon people when Robin was young. A now older Robin has remained fiercely committed to freeing his fellow countrymen from absolute rule by any king, be he English or Norman. But this long standing rivalry is soon overshadowed by a more dangerous enemy a foe from the outside who threatens William’s entire kingdom, including the way of life of Robin’s own England, a life that was largely preserved under Norman rule. This foreign threat sets in motion explosive adventures as Robin engages in fierce sea battles, secret undercover operations behind enemy lines, and bloody saber skirmishes with fresh troops from the French Army.
