520 $aLondon, 1385. Tensions between young King Richard II and his uncle, the Duke of Lancaster, continue to intensify. As the spectre of revolt looms, a fragile truce with France nears its end, and the realm faces threats from home and abroad. Now word is spreading of a treasonous book of prophecies that has accurately foretold the deaths of twelve English kings - and Richard is to be number thirteen. John Gower, poet, moralist, and trader in secrets, is commissioned by Geoffrey Chaucer to hunt down the book, which has already provoked one brutal murder. Tracking the manuscript from the halls of Westminster to the stews of Southwark, Gower uncovers an intricate conspiracy reaching to the King's innermost circles... and potentially implicating Gower's only son. With his own dark secrets to protect, and the stakes unimaginably high, Gower faces an impossible choice: his family or his duty to King and country.
