Sequel to The Leopard’s Face. The de la Pole family may have fought their way into medieval England’s nobility, but their ambitions are greater still.
Against the background of Agincourt and the Hundred Years’ War, William de la Pole–namesake of his famous ancestor–fights to bring peace to England…preferably lining his own pockets along the way.
His friendship with an exiled French nobleman, and his deep love for Alice, the grand-daughter of poet Geoffrey Chaucer, give William strength in these dangerous times, but can the man they call The Sham King weather the storm that is to come?
