Parliament of Spies

All the danger and intrigue of 14th-century England spring to life in this 'compelling' (Publishers Weekly) series about the brave, incorruptible Abbess of Meaux.Abbess Hildegard may consider herself 'just a nun with no useful skills or connections,' yet her loyalty and intelligence have brought her to the attention of King Richard II himself-not the safest place to be, when the king has enemies on all sides. As Hildegard wrestles with her role as a spy in the parliament that is hastily gathering at Westminster, Cassandra Clark's A Parliament of Spies shows us the human side of history, giving readers new reason to follow Publishers Weekly's rallying cry: 'Medievalists rejoice!'
