England, 1413. The old king is dead - and a fragile peace teeters on the edge of collapse. In A Knight and a Spy 1413, Simon Fairfax plunges readers into a world of political intrigue, espionage, and danger. Sir James de Grispere, a loyal knight and secret agent for the crown, now faces perhaps his greatest challenge yet.
With the reign of King Henry V beginning, England is burdened with debt and internal strife. Across the border, the Scots rally beneath a false Richard II, raising the threat of rebellion. In France, Paris simmers with unrest, while a shadowy heretical sect in England plots to assassinate the new king. All these forces may not be separate - they could be part of a single, deadly conspiracy.
Jamie de Grispere must navigate a treacherous path. Accusations of treason swirl around him. His own family is endangered. His very life hangs in the balance as he strives to protect the throne and root out hidden enemies. With courage, cunning, and unbreakable loyalty, he must confront assassination, betrayal, and political machinations - or watch everything he holds dear be destroyed.

Perfect for fans of medieval espionage, gritty warfare, and courtly intrigue, A Knight and a Spy 1413 delivers a powerful, immersive tale of loyalty and sacrifice in a dangerous age.
