Duel of Beasts

Book 4 coming July 30, 2026

Savage beasts, fabulous treasures, perilous duels, and deadly treachery abound in this thrilling adventure novel set in medieval Spain.

Málaga, Spain, 1352. Knight-errant Gerard Fox and his daring wife Willa seek young noblewoman Madelena to deliver news of her brother’s death: an innocuous mission, yet one that plunges the couple into a fight for their lives against their most dangerous adversaries yet.

Madelena’s sister-in-law Helvira desires two things that Madalena now possesses: a considerable inheritance, and a letter that provides grounds for Helvira’s execution in both the Christian and Muslim worlds. With everything at stake, Helvira will stop at nothing to seize both.

Fox and Willa soon find themselves in a desperate battle to survive on a journey that will take them from the royal court at Seville to the mighty complex of the Alhambra Palace. To save Madelena and reveal the truth, the duo must outwit Helvira and her allies at every turn—and escape the ferocious creatures of Helvira’s deadly menagerie.

The Lawless Land

Book 1

First in a fast-paced knight-errant adventure series, from New York Times bestselling author Boyd Morrison and his sister, expert art historian Beth Morrison.

The Road to Canterbury, 1351.

The Pestilence has ravaged England. Fields and villages lie abandoned but for crows and corpses. Roads and highways are unpatrolled but for marauders and murderers. In these dark and dangerous times, the wise keep to themselves.

But disgraced Knight Gerard Fox cannot afford to be wise. He has been robbed of his ancestral home, his family name tarnished. To regain his lands and redeem his honour, he sets forth to petition the one man who can restore them.

Fate places Fox on the wrong road at the wrong time. Riding deep into the wild woods, he hurtles towards a chance encounter. It will entangle him with an enigmatic woman, a relic of incalculable value and a dark family secret. It will lead him far from home and set him on a collision course with one of the most ambitious and dangerous men in Europe—a man on the cusp of seizing Christendom’s highest office.

And now, Fox is the only one standing in his way.

Read Excerpt

Praise for The Lawless Land

“[T]he knight-errant at the center of Boyd and Beth Morrison’s rollicking adventure, The Lawless Land, is a fittingly valiant paragon of chivalric virtue. Early on, while rescuing a damsel very much in distress, Gerard Fox explains that his personal story is ‘full of murder, intrigue and treachery of the worst sort…’ that’s best ignored while surrendering to the inventive twists and turns of a satisfyingly bustling plot.”
—New York Times Book Review
“[An] exceptional series launch… Historical fiction fans will eagerly await (Boyd and Beth’s) further adventures!”
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“The plot is tight and fast-paced, and the life and times of this post-Black Death period are vividly portrayed. There are twists which will make you gasp, and a story line which makes it difficult to put the book down. Thoroughly enjoyable. More please.”
—Historical Novel Society

“A simply riveting action/adventure novel… the stuff of which blockbuster movies are made. The Lawless Land will leave its enthusiastic readers looking eagerly toward the next installment.”
—Midwest Book Review

“Will have medieval action fans on the edge of their seats… The Lawless Land is what you get when you put Jack Reacher into a medieval setting.”
—Grimdark Magazine

“Fantastic—suspenseful and historically fascinating… Gerard Fox could be Jack Reacher’s ancestor, 700 years ago. Highly recommended!”
—Lee Child, #1 NYT bestselling author of Better Off Dead

“The Lawless Land is a fantastic start to a brilliant new adventure series that you won’t want to miss… Boyd and Beth Morrison bring the Middle Ages to life in vivid detail with historical authenticity and a sense of fun… this thriller has it all!”

—Mark Greaney, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Gray Man

“The Lawless Land is non-stop action, an exciting cross between Raiders of the Lost Ark and Excalibur that will have you turning the pages so fast you’ll get blisters! I can’t remember the last time I read a thriller that was so much fun. It’s the perfect beach read!”
—Lee Goldberg, NYT bestselling thriller author

“The Lawless Land is a compulsively readable, immersive tale of chivalric adventure and dangerous romance in a war-torn, plague-stricken Europe. Readers will relish the twists and turns of the plot, thrilling to a chase that gallops across lawless lands, winds through treacherous labyrinths, and risks all in mortal combat as the daring hero and heroine strive to save themselves and their imperiled world. A hugely entertaining historical novel!”
—Eric Jager, NYT bestselling author of The Last Duel

“A gallant knight, a witty heroine, a quest for the ages… In The Lawless Land, the Morrisons have created a thrilling medieval adventure packed with fascinating historical detail. The Lawless Land combines the rich historical tapestry of Umberto Eco and the relentless pace and adventure of Clive Cussler into a brilliant new series. I can’t wait to see where Fox goes next!”
—J.T. Ellison, NYT bestselling author of Her Dark Lies
