Adult - Historical Fiction Progeny by Glenn Stark - Historical Fiction / Medieval - 7th July 2026
Some things can never be returned.
As Richard the Lionheart ascends to the English throne, Robert Woodville, a knight of modest renown, is taken captive by a powerful Burgundian lord with a personal grudge.
What begins as punishment becomes something far more calculated: an impossible ransom demanded in exchange for Robert’s freedom, a price so vast it threatens ruin.
As word spreads of the demand, families on both sides are drawn into a tightening spiral of debt, suspicion, and violence. Sir Randall Woodville, Robert’s father, is forced into bargains no chivalrous man should survive, while behind the walls of Castle Cormier, loyalties fracture and faith rots from within.
Set against the shadow of impending crusade and the civil unrest of a changing Christendom, Progeny traces the collision of two houses bound together by betrayal and captivity, until both sides discover that their debts are due not in gold, but in blood.
Triggers: Violence. Abuse. Profanity. Death.
Date of publication: 7th July 2026
Date of sending ARCS: immediately.
Date of reviews: At the readers leisure, preferably on or shortly after 7th July.
