Used book – The Order of the White Stag, Paul Doherty, Bernard Cucchi

In 1400, after the death of Richard II of England in Pontefract Prison, Henry IV tried tirelessly to silence the rumor that he was alive and exiled in Scotland. But the supporters of the White Hart, Richard II's emblem, were already preparing for his return...

Thirteen years later, the mercenary Matthew Jankyn, as much a liar as a thief, is barely surviving after the death of his father, murdered by the king's men for having been part of the White Hart. Drawn against his will into the heart of the intrigues fomented by the loyalists of this order, he does not believe in Richard II's return. Fearing he will end up like his father, he sells himself to the Bishop of Beaufort, the king's half-brother, who tasks him with uncovering the truth. A quest that will lead him from the battlefields of France to the icy lands of Scotland.
