The King's Messenger

Summary

WILL LOVE BE ENOUGH WHEN AN HONORABLE MAN IN SERVICE TO A TREACHEROUS KING IS FACED WITH AN IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE?

It is the year 1613, and King James is sending his messenger, Andrew Logan, into Scotland with secret orders to arrest Sir David Moray, close friend and advisor of the late Prince Henry. Secrets are second nature to Andrew, who must hide his Second Sight to stay alive. Joined by a court scrivener and the scrivener’s spirited daughter, Phoebe, Andrew slowly untangles the true purpose of his mission—to frame Sir David for Prince Henry’s murder. But Andrew is unwilling to betray an innocent man.

Phoebe Westaway dislikes Andrew, and their history makes it hard for her to trust him. But as their journey draws them deeper into the dark web of court intrigue, Phoebe begins to suspect that she might have more need of the King’s Messenger and his unusual gifts than she could ever have foreseen.

International bestselling author Susanna Kearsley tells a riveting tale of unexpected love, honor in conflict with duty, and a journey to discover the truth.
