In the 1300's there is an ongoing war. With attempts on the kings lives and false coins appearing Merrivale and Tiphaine search for the man of the north and the Pilgrim's who are gathering forces to overthrow the French and English thrones. There is a list of suspects who are close to the kings that might have grievances.
Evil lurks in the shadows waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike killing those close to Merrivale and the kings.
Intricate details of the settings makes you feel as though you are there like in the movies. It's written in old English which I love.
