From Edith Pargeter, who also wrote the bestselling Brother Cadfael Chronicles under the name Ellis Peters, a brilliant medieval tale of treachery, rebellion and crisis in Henry IV's kingdom.
England, 1399. A treacherous plot has been hatched to depose King Richard and install Henry Bolingbroke on the English throne.
With the aid of his powerful friend Hotspur, Henry is victorious. But, crowned Henry IV, he rules a kingdom in crisis. In Wales, rebellion threatens. Henry's heir, Hal, is named Prince of Wales but the Welsh have a prince of their own blood and he is calling them to arms.
