Product Description

A Kingdom wants peace. A king needs help.
Can a treaty be forged between them?

1645. War rages in all Three Kingdoms of England, Ireland and Scotland. But there is hope for peace in Ireland. A precarious ceasefire is in place and a treaty between the Irish Catholic Confederation and King Charles is being finalised with much at stake for both. Into this delicate political landscape comes Giovanni Battista Rinuccini, Papal Nuncio, sent from Rome to Kilkenny, seat of the Confederation, to ensure Catholic interests are upheld. Can he support conclusion of the peace treaty or will war re-commence and devastate the Kingdom again?
A mysterious murder is perpetrated in Kilkenny. A Spanish friar in Rinuccini’s entourage is thrown from the castle cliffs. A mystery that must be solved by the dogged investigations of the city’s Under Sheriff, Walter Archer. For the circumstances surrounding the friar’s death may have far reaching consequences, for the treaty negotiations and the very future of the Kingdom itself.
