Surrounded by ruthless courtiers--including his powerful uncle, John of Gaunt, and Gaunt's artful mistress, Katherine Swynford--England's young king, Richard II, is in mortal peril. Songs are heard across London, said to originate from an ancient book that prophesies the ends of England's kings--including Richard's assassination. Only a few powerful men know that the cryptic lines derive from a \"burnable book,\" a seditious work that threatens the stability of the realm. To find the manuscript, wily bureaucrat Geoffrey Chaucer turns to fellow poet John Gower, a professional trader in information with connections high and low.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGower discovers a conspiracy that reaches from the king's court to London's slums--and potentially implicates Gower's own son. As the intrigue deepens, it becomes clear that John Gower, a man with secrets of his own, may hold the key to saving the king, and England itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Collins","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42871853121616,"sku":"9780062240330B","price":9.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780062240330-l.jpg?v=1785871617","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/a-burnable-book-9780062240330b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
