Hope remains for the House of Lancaster in the form of Margaret Beaufort. As mother of Henry Tudor she is well aware her son is in danger. Christopher Urswicke is her hope and together they aim to turn the sons of York against each other. for protection. But will Urswicke remain loyal?

Great insight in to the history we all know about York and Lancaster. The characters are well formed and you can almost imagine them and the surroundings.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend to those with an interest in the war of the roses.
