Winter 1461. Richard, duke of York, lies dead, his head mounted on city walls. His son Edward of March inherits more than a title. He inherits a war. Queen Margaret of Anjou marches south with her northern army and Scottish Highland warriors, triumphant after destroying the elder York. King Henry VI remains her prisoner. With York's death, Margaret appears invincible. But killing the father has awakened the sons. Edward proclaims himself England's rightful king, setting brother against brother and king against king. Snow falls as factions splinter and reform. Vengeful women and broken men choose sides in a conflict where blood and betrayal determine who rules. Two men may claim the same crown, but winter will crown only one survivor.
