Court of Deadly Whispers

Argyle Mowbray is dragged back into the English court on a frail promise and a tidal wave of destructive secrets. Behind the scenes, his own brother is balancing on a knife’s edge as the past races to catch up to the men who made the King’s life a living hell.

When King Richard takes a new bride, she brings with her a companion whose past is as veiled as her allegiance. It is not long before the vengeful King throws down his gauntlet and challenges his past demons. As heads roll and blood spills, a traitor slips between the royal sheets.

Caught in the middle, Argyle is reduced to a powerless spectator as his brother is pitted against the greatest of all the English lords in a joust for his life.

As the English court descends into darkness, Argyle is forced to realise that, sometimes, chivalry can lead to only one destination: Death.
