Summary
The brilliant retelling of the Wars of the Roses continues with Bloodline, the gripping third novel in the new series from historical fiction master Conn Iggulden.

Winter 1461: Richard, duke of York, is dead—his ambitions in ruins, his head spiked on the walls of the city.

King Henry VI is still held prisoner. His Lancastrian queen, Margaret of Anjou, rides south with an army of victorious northerners, accompanied by painted warriors from the Scottish Highlands. With the death of York, Margaret and her army seem unstoppable.

Yet in killing the father, Margaret has unleashed the sons.

Edward of March, now duke of York, proclaims himself England’s rightful king.

Factions form and tear apart as snow falls. Through blood and treason, through broken men and vengeful women, brother shall confront brother, king shall face king.

Two men can always claim a crown—but only one can keep it.

Following Margaret of Anjou, Bloodline is the third epic installment in master storyteller Conn Iggulden’s new Wars of the Roses series. Fans of the Game of Thornes and Tudors series will be gripped from the word 'go.'

“Sure-footed, pacy, gore-splattered … rings absolutely true.”—Daily Mail

Great battle descriptions, however, the same old tired and unsupported claims of Elizabeth Wydeville as some scheming farmer's daughter. I recommend Arlene Okerlund's history, Elizabeth Wydeville, The Slandered Queen, to counter with great evidence the maligning done to her here. Not only is she portrayed as devious and ill-intentioned, but there is no mention of her mother, despite Jaquetta of Luxembourg being sister-in-law to Henry V and in fact involved in some negotiations on behalf of the Lancaster's. Otherwise I enjoyed this book, but these parts were a big disappointment and stereotypical.
