A medieval mystery featuring disgraced knight Crispin Guest
London, 1388. When the mythical Stone of Destiny disappears from the
throne of England during mass in Westminster Abbey, the populace takes
it as a sign to side with King Richard II's rebellious barons. The last
thing the king needs is for his authority to be put in question,
especially after his army suffers a crushing defeat against a Scottish
uprising.
Desperate, Richard calls in Crispin Guest to find the missing stone. And
to ensure that he will do the deed, the king imprisons Jack Tucker and
orders Crispin to find the stone before Parliament convenes in three
days' time - or Jack will hang for treason.
