1793. As the Terror begins to cast a great shadow over France, Thomas
Pryce, the new Vicar of Deal, crosses the Channel to find the missing
parents of his beautiful French wife. Facing grave dangers, he makes his
way to Brittany where he not only discovers the fate of his in-laws but
also uncovers a plot which threatens to topple the British monarchy.
Fighting against a sinister secret society in a race against time, Pryce
battles to thwart the plans of a Parisian spymaster and his agents in
London. The Fate of Kings is the first in a series of gripping spy
thrillers that will engross readers of C.J. Sansom, Dan Brown, as well
as the many avid watchers of Poldark and Grantchester. In the first
years of the British Secret Service, Thomas Pryce truly is the original
James Bond.
