Description
The Devil's Chalice by D.K. Wilson is set against the backdrop of 1549 England, a time of turmoil and upheaval. Against this complex historical landscape, a gripping story unfolds. In the summer of discontent, two men languish in the Tower of London: William West accused of attempted murder, and Robert Allen under investigation for dabbling in the Black Arts. As tensions rise across the country, with rebellions against King Edward VI, a mysterious connection between these events begins to emerge. Against this volatile atmosphere, a goldsmith named Thomas Treviot is sent by his patron, Archbishop Cranmer, to uncover discreetly what links West has with leading figures at court. But as he delves deeper into the mystery, he faces numerous dangers and must navigate treacherous paths of peasant mobs, London gangsters, and political intrigue.
