Penguin presents the audio edition of Checkmate by Dorothy Dunnett, read by David Monteath.

It is 1557 and legendary Scottish warrior Francis Crawford of Lymond is once more in France. There he is leading an army to rout the hated English from Calais.

Yet while Lymond seeks victory on the battlefield he is haunted by his troubled past - chiefly the truth about his origins and his marriage (in name only) to young Englishwoman Philippa Somerville.

As the French offer him a way out of his marriage and his wife appears in France on a mission of her own, the final moves are made in a great game that has been playing out over an extraordinary decade of war, love and struggle - bringing the Lymond Chronicles to a spellbinding close.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dorothy Dunnett

Dorothy Dunnett foi considerada por muitos a melhor autora de ficção histórica do seu tempo, reconhecida internacionalmente por aliar factos históricos e imaginação. Ganhou fama sobretudo com as séries As Crónicas de Lymond e The House of Niccolo – passadas na Europa e no Mediterrâneo dos séculos XV e XVI – e com o romance histórico King Hereafter.
Em 1992, Dorothy Dunnett recebeu o prémio OBE pelo serviço prestado à literatura, e, em 2014, Francis Crawford de Lymond, o seu protagonista mais duradouro, foi votado o personagem histórico favorito dos Escoceses – ultrapassando figuras como Sherlock Holmes e Harry Potter.
A autora fundou a Dorothy Dunnett Society, com o objetivo de promover o estudo das épocas sobre as quais escrevia e de incentivar à conservação e leitura das suas obras.
