Overview

""The Storyteller's War is a rousing good tale that will delight the most ardent Chaucer enthusiasts and novices alike."" -Donna D. Conrad, bestselling author of The Magdalene Chronicles March, 1366. Amid the chaos of a war-torn Spain, Geoffrey Chaucer-page to King Edward III and the son of a wine merchant-finds himself thrust into the heart of a boiling conflict between two brothers: King Pedro the Cruel of Castile and his half-brother, Enrique Trastámara. But Chaucer's task is far from simple. Sent as a reluctant spy by the king, he must locate the elusive mercenary Sir Hugh Calveley and persuade him to change sides in a war that could alter the fate of kingdoms. If Chaucer fails, he not only risks losing his life, but also his position at court, and the love of Pippa, the woman he cherishes. Surrounded by ruthless enemies, seductive spies, and looming battles, Chaucer must rely on his wit, charm, and storytelling to survive the assassin's blade and a seductress's schemes. As armies collide on the battlefield, Chaucer's greatest challenge becomes not just turning the tide of war-but winning the battle for Pippa's heart. History, romance, and danger collide in this gripping tale of intrigue, loyalty, and love in medieval Europe.

Author Information

J.C. Corry's first childhood memory was peering through rose-tinted stained glass in a Battersea church in London, England, colouring a passion for historical fiction emboldened by his father's hole-ridden Normandy helmet that sits above his writing desk. An army brat, he lived in ten homes by the age of ten in Canada, England and Australia, studied literature (where his love for Chaucer began) and film, produced television documentaries about artists, and now leads a thriving corporate communications career in Vancouver, BC, where his two grown sons literally look down upon him. He loves travel, good wine, singing, dancing, live music, theatre and film, forest walks, and scrabble. Visit his website www.jccorry.com to learn more.
