The King at the End of the World
9.99 €
1601. Queen Elizabeth I dies without leaving an heir. The leading candidate for the throne is King James VI of Scotland, but there's a problem. The queen's spies - hardened by long religious wars - fear that James is not who he claims to be. He claims to be loyal to Protestantism but may be secretly practicing Catholicism, in which case forty years of suffering will have been in vain, threatening new bloodshed. Time passes, and London is faced with an almost impossible question: how to verify what James truly believes? And then the Queen's spy Geoffrey Belloc finds a way to get into the future king's soul. He hires Mahmud Ezzedine, a Muslim mendicant who was the victim of intrigue in his homeland and abandoned in England during the last diplomatic embassy from the Ottoman Empire. Ezzedine is a stranger on this cold and rainy island. He doesn't care about local strife and will do anything to get home to his wife and son.
