Book
King’s Gold
First published 2011
Late 1326. London is in disorder and Edward II is a prisoner as Isabella and Mortimer consolidate victory. Baldwin and Simon are assigned to guard the deposed king, but their different judgements about duty and justice place a strain on the friendship that has sustained the series.
A struggle over royal treasure, documents and loyalty draws them into conspiracy and murder during the transition of power. The investigation asks whether service to a failed king remains binding and whether men who opposed tyranny can prevent the new regime from repeating the same abuse.
