When Justin de Quincy discovers a dying man on the road to Winchester clutching a secret letter for Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, he is drawn into a perilous web of political intrigue. Summoned to serve the formidable queen, Justin must use courage, wit, and a developing talent for investigation to uncover the truth before powerful enemies can silence it. Set in the turbulent years following Henry II’s death, the novel vividly portrays a fractured Angevin empire, a captive Richard, and John’s struggle for influence. Blending meticulously researched history with a compelling medieval mystery, it explores loyalty, ambition, justice, and the uneasy relationship between power and truth.
