The War of the Roses the popular name given to the civil
conflict that dominated the late fifteenth century is the setting for this
historic novel. Back then the future King Richard III was the Duke of
Gloucester and the story begins in the year 1464, when the kingdom is engulfed
in a bitter battle between the houses of Lancaster and York to who will claim
the Crown of England.
The author cleverly uses a mixture of historical events and
figures with fiction to create an epic adventure of a story where vengeance,
murder, hatred, witchcraft, betrayal, and deceit are all used in order to
obtain power and control over a country bloody and on its knees from battle. In
a land where all hope seems to be gone for most love seems to find a way
through, and at the heart of this story there is a softer side to the harsh
realities of war. The blend and battle of love and war will keep the reader intrigued
to find out which will conquer all and be victorious right to the end.
