£11.03

Overview

A savage tale of love, treason and betrayal. A bloody struggle for power at the heart of the royal court. In April 1483, the sudden death of King Edward IV brings his twelve year old son to the throne. Restless young lord and ex-mercenary John Elder is newly-appointed to the service of Edward, Prince of Wales, and charged with the boy's safety.His first task, escorting the new king to London for his coronation, seems a simple one but the accession of a boy king raises concerns among the leading noblemen of the land. As old jealousies and feuds are rekindled, the new king's uncle, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, seizes control and plunges the kingdom into crisis.But is Gloucester young Edward's enemy, or saviour?While John, outlawed and trapped, must wait to see how events unfold, other members of the battle-scarred Elder family are drawn, one by one, into his conspiracy.Soon they are mired so deep in the murky underbelly of London society, that there seems no hope of escape from the tangle of intrigue and murder. In the end, all lives will hang upon the outcome of a daring incursion into the Tower of London itself.
