MURDER. TREASON. CONSPIRACY. CANNON CONSPIRACY is the newly-published fourth Nicola Machiavelli "real history" Renaissance mystery. Each delectable story is the candy coating to the real Renaissance history at the core of each. The first three consistently average more than 4 out of 5 stars after over 225 reviews on Amazon. For the history-minded, the Afterword further delineates fact from fiction and adds more historical detail. Historical figures appear only where and when they did in the historical record, doing their usual deeds. THE PLOT OF CANNON CONSPIRACY: In his first year as king, assassins steal cannons that Henry VIII ordered from Italy's finest armory and behead those guarding them. Is one of England's feuding families determined to reignite the War of the Roses, or does the young king have new enemies? Caught in the middle between a lustful King Henry, his jealous Queen Katherine and the unknown conspirators is brilliant and beautiful Nicola Machiavelli, who accompanied the cannons from Italy. The King pursues her for sex and threatens her with death. The Queen, seeking to protect everyone, asks her to investigate. Nicola will explore coastal castles and witness the splendor of Tudor Christmas traditions to expose crimes that threaten Henry's crown. ABOUT THE SERIES: Take a journey through the European Renaissance with winsome Nicola Machiavelli, fictional bastard daughter of the real life bastard Niccolò "the-end-justifies-the-means" Machiavelli! After showcasing the entire history of the Borgia family in A BORGIA DAUGHTER DIES, Nicola's adventures reveal the little-known story of "The Office of the Night," which persecuted and prosecuted alleged homosexuals including Leonardo da Vinci, in DA VINCI DETECTS. Next comes the strange but true tale of Martin Luther's transformational trip to Rome as a young and very naïve monk in MARTIN LUTHER AND MURDER. Now, Nicola has journeyed to England at the beginning of Henry VIII's reign for CANNON CONSPIRACY, which showcases Henry's most fascinating queen, Katherine of Aragon; his early accomplishments, long overshadowed by his later misdeeds; and many amusing Tudor customs and personalities. To solve the mystery, Nicola must learn the basics of the War of the Roses, from which England had barely emerged at that time--so you will learn it too, in a quick and entertaining way. Enjoy!
