Book Description:
Leaves of gold and red and white had been swept up in a great gale, so that no one knew where they would land. The season of vengeance had begun.
The Wars of the Roses reach their conclusion in Ravenspur, the fourth novel in Conn Iggulden's stunning chronicle of late medieval England.
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 ...
‘Pacey and juicy, and packed with action’ - Kate Saunders, Sunday Times
‘Full of period detail, the narrative weaves a glittering thread through the complex, political chaos of the time. It's been said that Game of Thrones is the Wars of the Roses written as fantasy: this is the real thing, more glorious, more passionate, far, far more gritty’ - Manda Scott
'Iggulden is in a class of his own when it comes to epic, historical fiction' - Daily Mirror
'Superb, fantastic, extraordinary' - Sunday Express
