- Synopsis
- It is 1473, and the uneasy peace between England's houses of Lancaster and York has begun to unravel yet again. Rumors of invasion are rife, and Richard of Gloucester, the King's brother, is determined to put a stop to the treacherous plots: To that end, he dispatches a royal messenger to Duke Francis of Brittany with a secret letter. Roger the Chapman, meanwhile, is making his way to Exeter with his peddler's pack, in the hopes that a stop in the thriving city will help his trade. Roger found himself in Gloucester's good graces following their escapade at London's Crossed Hands inn--the inquisitive peddler's very first act of detection--and it seems the Duke has not forgotten the young man's ingenuity. Richard calls upon Roger to accompany his messenger, Philip Underdown, to a Brittany-bound ship at Plymouth. A devious fellow, Philip has more than his fair share of enemies and is, Richard believes, in need of undercover protection. Roger soon discovers that his is not an easy task, as Philip seems to attract animosity wherever they go. Is Philip's past catching up with him? Or has the true nature of their journey been discovered by Lancastrian rivals? These are the questions Roger must answer, and do so before Philip's mysterious enemies find their mark.
