Summary
Witness the rise of the Tudor dynasty—in this concluding volume to Conn Iggulden’s vigorous and commanding retelling of the Wars of the Roses.

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 bring an end to the Wars of the Roses …

'Iggulden wraps up his finely wrought War of the Roses series in splendid style. Murder, betrayal, and bloody battlefields distinguish a vigorous narrative that, though ripped from the pages of history, still manages to contain a strong measure of heart-pounding suspense.'—Booklist

Wow. I thought the last book was hideous in its treatment of Elizabeth Woodville. I cannot believe the twisted liberties the author takes with history. Claiming that Anthony Woodville, who by all historical accounts was a chivalrous knight , very intelligent and about whom I have found no bad reports, would burn puppies and old men for fun, is horrible. Claiming Edward couldn't stand being around Elizabeth is also contrary to historical accounts. While the author details battles well and creates an interesting world, it is definitely one with very biased and unaccountable opinions and slanders woven in that I hope no one takes as an actual historical account.
