Alyce Chaucer IV: The Wheel of Fortune
Price (Hardback): £20
The fourth book featuring the adventures of Geoffrey Chaucer’s granddaughter Alyce finds her in Bruges, talking about printing with William Caxton and plotting to aid the exiled Queen Marguerite. With her are the impulsive Tamsin Ormesby and irrepressible Joan Moulton. To their astonishment they hear that Henry VI has been returned to the English throne and encounter the deposed King Edward IV arriving in Bruges. Enter Will Stonor with the news that Alyce’s arch-enemy Sir Robert Harcourt has accused her Persian physician Farhang Amari of necromancy and thrown him into Oxford’s noisome Bocardo gaol. And when Alyce races home to Ewelme to save him, she finds herself accused of sorcery… Can her old friends Sir John Wenlock and Sir Thomas Malory rally round in time to save her?
