      About This Book

      The Game of Kings is the first book of Dorothy Dunnett's brilliant LYMOND CHRONICLES, which explore the intricacies of sixteenth-century history through the personality and exploits of Francis Crawford of Lymond, Scottish soldier of fortune, scholar and wit.

      Lymond is back...The whisper spreads quickly on that warm August night in 1547. Francis Crawford, an outlawed rebel, is in Edinburgh again ... and his arrival in Scotland ignites a series of explosive events.

      Against a background of political intrigue and violence, Lymond is tracking three men, one of whom holds the only answer he can give to the world, the parliaments and the men who condemned him.
