A Burnable Book

Set in 1385 London, Bruce Holsinger's A Burnable Book weaves a gripping tale of betrayal, murder, and royal intrigue centered around a prophetic manuscript that predicts the deaths of England's kings, including the young King Richard II. As ominous songs about the ancient book spread through the city, wily bureaucrat Geoffrey Chaucer enlists poet John Gower to uncover the truth behind the dangerous text, leading them into a conspiracy that stretches from the court to the slums. With rich historical detail and a labyrinthine plot, Holsinger brilliantly brings medieval England to life in this enthralling literary mystery.
