A Crown of Lies
(2026)(The tenth book in the Sir Guy de Haghe Mysteries series)
A novel by Robert Wilkinson
A Crown of Lies
One shocking secret. One city of traitors. One crown built on deceit.
Durham, 1356. Ten years after the slaughter at Neville’s Cross left Scotland’s king in English chains, the north of England should be quiet. Instead, the countryside burns.
Armed gangs prowl the byways, farms are raided under cover of darkness, and whispers spread of French silver and Scottish vengeance. Somewhere inside the walls of Durham, a hidden hand is feeding the enemies of King Edward - buying blades, bribing loyalties, and stirring rebellion from the shadows.
Sir Guy de Haghe is sent to uncover the traitor before the north is dragged back into war. But the deeper he digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. For the gold flowing to the Scots and French may be tied to trusted lieutenant to Edward - a name that could shatter kingdoms if true.
Enter a mysterious boy found half-frozen on the borders moor and he carries a secret which must be kept at all costs as brutal men seek his head.
With violent raiders closing in, false friends at every table, and enemies hidden in holy places, Guy must decide who can be trusted - and how far he will go to defend a king whose own crown was won by blood.
A Crown of Lies is a gripping medieval mystery of treason, bloody ambition, and royal deception, set against the brutal borderlands of Edward III’s England.
Genre: Historical Mystery
