Ravenspur

by Conn Iggulden

First published 2017

Edward IV stands on English soil again, but everything has changed. The Yorkist king was driven from his kingdom, his wife and children hiding in sanctuary while Lancaster holds power. Now Edward lands at Ravenspur with his brother Richard and a battered army that barely survived the crossing. Every city refuses them entry. Every hand turns against them. But the York brothers refuse exile and choose to fight instead. Edward burns with rage and humiliation that drives him toward greatness or destruction. Yet neither brother sees the real threat approaching. Far away, Henry Tudor has grown into manhood. The Red Dragon carries a claim that will take him to Bosworth Field, where the Wars of the Roses will finally end. Queens will mourn. Princes will die. Betrayals will shatter loyalties built over lifetimes. When the blood stops flowing, a new royal house will rule over the wreckage of the old.
