"The Storyteller's War is a rousing good tale that will delight the most ardent Chaucer enthusiasts and novices alike." -Donna D. Conrad, bestselling author of The Magdalene Chronicles
March, 1366. Amid the chaos of a war-torn Spain, Geoffrey Chaucer-page to King Edward III and the son of a wine merchant-finds himself thrust into the heart of a boiling conflict between two brothers: King Pedro the Cruel of Castile and his half-brother, Enrique Trastámara.
But Chaucer's task is far from simple. Sent as a reluctant spy by the king, he must locate the elusive mercenary Sir Hugh Calveley and persuade him to change sides in a war that could alter the fate of kingdoms. If Chaucer fails, he not only risks losing his life, but also his position at court, and the love of Pippa, the woman he cherishes.
Surrounded by ruthless enemies, seductive spies, and looming battles, Chaucer must rely on his wit, charm, and storytelling to survive the assassin's blade and a seductress's schemes. As armies collide on the battlefield, Chaucer's greatest challenge becomes not just turning the tide of war-but winning the battle for Pippa's heart.
History, romance, and danger collide in this gripping tale of intrigue, loyalty, and love in medieval Europe.
