Why a Booktrail?
1613: A story of justice, honour, truth and love – and survival against impossible odds…
The King’s Messenger
What you need to know before your trail
1613: Scotland and England, unified under one crown, are reeling from the sudden death of King James’ popular eldest son, Henry, as rumours swirl that the prince was poisoned.
Andrew Logan, one of the King’s Messengers, is sent north with secret orders to find and arrest the man the king suspects.
Phoebe Westaway cannot abide Andrew Logan. But when her ageing father is tasked with helping Logan, Phoebe finds herself with no choice but to join them in their quest to capture Sir David Moray, once Prince Henry’s trusted courtier, and carry him to London to stand trial for the prince’s murder.
It’s a journey rife with complications. Sir David has no intention of allowing himself to be delivered to London, and as he draws them deeper into the dark web of court alliances and rivalries, Phoebe realises she might have more need of Logan than she believes.

Travel Guide
London and up to Scotland
To be honest, this would be a mammoth booktrail to do in real life. Practically ALL the castles in the country, the narrow streets of London and all the way up to Leith in Scotland where there are some very historical sights.
Good mix of fact and fiction here. Detailed and evocative places described via smells, light and dark, the buzz in the air and more.
