The Prince's Keeper

England, at the close of the fifteenth century.

Richard Ashcombe has a family, a place in a thriving London merchant house, and a talent for finding mistakes in accounts. He also has a secret that could cost him everything.

He was once Richard of Shrewsbury, one of the two young princes who vanished into the Tower of London.

When a missing payment draws the attention of the king's investigators, Richard finds himself caught in a dangerous web of political suspicion, questionable loyalties and competing claims to the English throne. Another man has emerged claiming to be the lost prince, while the Tudor court has powerful reasons to fear what the truth might reveal.

As questions about his family's business become inseparable from the mysteries of his childhood, Richard must confront the past he has spent years trying to leave behind.

But uncovering what happened in the Tower may prove easier than deciding what to do with the truth.

**The Princes’ Keeper** is a richly grounded historical novel of identity, family, loyalty and survival, exploring what might have happened if one of England's most famous missing princes had lived—and wanted nothing more than an ordinary life.
