Through the lens of the influential de la Pole brothers, this book offers readers a chance to explore some of the lesser known aspects of Henry VII and Henry VIII's rule, in particular their foreign wars and often duplicitous dealings with other European monarchs.
Since the fall of ancient Rome, kings and emperors have coveted the one Christian relic that guarantees victory in battle - the Holy Lance of St Longinus. The sacred spear that pierced Christ's side at the Crucifixion is jealously guarded by the Hapsburg Holy Roman Emperors and yet, with war clouds gathering over the Danube, others seek to wield this legendary symbol of royal power. The French King, the Ottoman Sultan and a feared warlord who claims descent from the infamous Vlad 'the Impaler' all yearn to possess this priceless treasure - but no one can acquire the Holy Lance without the help of English alchemist and adventurer, Thomas Devilstone.Set during the epic Ottoman-Hapsburg Wars of the early 16th Century, the second instalment of The Devilstone Chronicles follows the outlawed knight, necromancer and soldier-of-fortune Thomas Devilstone as he battles traitors, spies and the mysterious Order of the Dragon in his quest for honour and glory. Will Thomas and the men of the Devil's Band succeed in stealing the Holy Lance? Or will they fall victim to the Order of the Dragon's sinister Grand Master, the man who calls himself Lord Dracul...
Thomas Devilstone is on the run. The spells and charms he cast for Henry VIII have failed to produce the promised royal heir and now the king's former favourite faces a cruel and hideous death for practising witchcraft. Thomas' only hope is to flee abroad and join the desperate Yorkist rebels plotting to overthrow the Tudor tyrant, but first he must help an unfrocked priest, an unscrupulous mercenary and a deposed African prince escape from London's deepest dungeon...
