The exiled king Edward IV lands at Ravenspur with a half-drowned army and his brother Richard at his side. Though every hand is against them, though every city gate is shut, the York brothers will not go quietly into banishment. Instead, they choose to attack. Yet, far away, Henry Tudor has become a man, and his claim will carry him to Bosworth Field.
Witness the rise of the Tudors in the stunning conclusion to Conn Iggulden´s powerful retelling of the Wars of the Roses.

´An utterly compelling page-turner full of historical facts. A fascinating read´ Sun

England, 1470. A divided kingdom cannot stand.

King Edward of York has been driven out of England. Queen Elizabeth and her children tremble in sanctuary at Westminster Abbey. The House of Lancaster has won the crown, but York will not go quietly.

Desperate to reclaim his throne, Edward lands at Ravenspur with a half-drowned army and his brother Richard at his side. Every hand is against them, every city gate is shut, yet the brothers York go on the attack.

But neither sees that their true enemy is Henry Tudor, now grown into a man. As the Red Dragon - ´the man of destiny´ - his claim to the throne leads to Bosworth Field and a battle that will call an end to the Wars of the Roses . . .

´A tough, pacy chronicle of bloody encounters, betrayals and cruelties. Superb´ Daily Mail

´Iggulden is in a class of his own when it comes to epic, historical fiction´ Daily Mirror
