In “The Boy King’s Tale: as Told by Geoffrey Chaucer” two entwined love stories, young and old, lead to betrayal, murder, and the near overthrow of a kingdom in this epic story of son and bride, mother and lover, in the extraordinary untold true story adventure of the earliest days of one of England’s most revered kings, Edward III. The dark and twisted world of medieval politics, war, glory, love, sex and romance, the fate of the future lies in the balance on one fateful night when rescue or gruesome death was held on the turn of a confession to a faceless monk. Told by English court poet, Geoffrey Chaucer, as one of his tales, on the day death bells toll from the steeples of Westminster. “
A story redolent with intrigues, battles, and psychological warfare, beautifully written and flows easily from one drama to the next. The main characters were drawn superbly. For anyone that loves tales of knights, derring-do, and chivalry, this is a fantastic read but also for anyone who just enjoys a rollicking good story.” Readers Favorite – 5 Stars
