A Knight and a Spy 1412

4.5(796)

In 1412, Henry IV’s weakening rule and renewed tension with France force Sir James de Grispere into a wider field of espionage. His work takes him from London to Paris and Florence, where assassination, papal finance and the Western Schism connect English policy to the unstable politics of Europe. The novel follows James as he escorts a dangerous papal levy toward Italy and tries to survive a journey in which courtiers, agents and enemies all have reasons to stop him.
