|title=Kingmaker: Broken Faith (Kingmaker 2)
|rating=5
|genre=Historical Fiction
|summary=This contains spoilers for Kingmaker 1, so that's probably best read first; you won't regret it! Now where were we? 1462: The War of the Roses rages on. Katherine is at Cornford Castle, posing as Lady Margaret Cornford, wife of the now blind Richard Fakenham. Not even he realises her true identity but she feels it's only a matter of time. The man who Katherine really loves and assumes dead, Thomas Everingham is suffering from a head injury. He's just remembered enough to make his way to his childhood home but is unaware of his more recent past; he can remember how to fight though – and just as well! On a wider canvas, the war has denuded England, most of its food having gone to feed the armies. King Henry VI has fled to the northeast and Warwick, the Kingmaker himself, is coming for him. The worst isn't over yet though, not for anyone.

|summary=We met the people from Loxley New Hall in [[Loxley by Sally Wragg|Loxley]] but we've moved on quite a few years as we rejoin them for the story of ''The Angel and the Sword''. Harry, eleventh Duke of Loxley is dead and the title has been inherited by his daughter - she's a lucky girl as that doesn't happen too often in the world of Debrett's. She's only in her mid teens, but Katherine, her grandmother is uneasy about her friendship with Bill, a local boy. She was very sniffy when her son married Bronwyn, the daughter of a doctor and only really came around to the idea when Bron made a good fist of running the estate when the Duke went off to the trenches with every able-bodied man on the estate.
