What you need to know before your trail
A KING WITHOUT AN HEIR
Heretic-turned-spy Giordano Bruno arrives in Paris to find a city on the edge of catastrophe. King Henri III lives in fear of a coup by the Duke of Guise and his fanatical Catholic League, and another massacre on the streets.
A COURT AT WAR WITH GOD
When Bruno’s old rival, Father Paul Lefèvre is found murdered, Bruno is drawn into a dangerous web of religious politics and court intrigue. And watching over his shoulder is the King’s mother, Catherine de Medici, with her harem of beautiful spies.
A DEADLY CONSPIRACY IN PLAY
When murder strikes at the heart of the Palace, Bruno finds himself on the trail of a killer who is protecting a terrible secret. With the royal houses of France and England under threat, Bruno must expose the truth – or be silenced for good
Travel Guide
“Here Paris ended abruptly, bustling streets giving way to ploughed fields and orchards, wife unpaved roads built for ox-carts and canals for good barges from the surrounding farms – all the arteries that kept money flowing in and out of the city”
This is the Paris that swims with blood and the rain and sludge which runs along the gutters of Rue Cimetiere. The city is painted with dirt, blood, gore, and smells of death and destruction. Paris is decaying following decades of religious strife and the result is one big stench holed in by two big walls and and cobbled streets. The brink of civil war is looming and fear is the only one who can walk the street unharmed.
