Short Description
"In 1547 Scotland has been humiliated by an English invasion and is threatened by machinations elsewhere beyond its borders, but it is still free. Paradoxically, her freedom may depend on a man who stands accused of treason. He is Francis Crawford of Lymond, a scapegrace nobleman of crooked felicities and murderous talents, possessed of a scholar's erudition and a tongue as wicked as a rapier. In The Game of Kings this extraordinary antihero returns to the country that has outlawed him — to redeem his reputation even at the risk of his life." -Vintage ed. back cover

Setting
Border region of Scotland and England, as well as Edinburgh and Stirling (in Scotland) Aug 1547 - Aug 1548
