About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Ravenspur by Conn Iggulden, read by Roy McMillan.

England, 1470.

A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.

The Yorkist king Edward IV is driven out of England, his wife and children forced to seek sanctuary from the House of Lancaster. Yet rage and humiliation prick Edward back to greatness. He lands at Ravenspur, with a half-drowned army and his brother Richard at his side. Though every hand is against them, though every city gate is shut, they have come home. The brothers York will not go quietly into banishment.

Instead, they choose to attack.

Yet neither Edward nor Richard realize that the true enemy of York has yet to reveal himself. Far away, Henry Tudor has become a man. He is the Red Dragon - 'the man of destiny' who seeks to end the Wars of the Roses. His claim will carry him to Bosworth Field.

There will be silence and the mourning of queens. There will be self-sacrifice and terrible betrayals. Two royal princes will be put to death. There will be an ending -- and a new royal house will stand over them all.

The much anticipated (by me anyway) final chapter in Igguldens War of the Roses continues to capture both how I'd imagine the mood of the time and and also the attitudes of the characters - a fascinating insight in the authors semi fictitious medieval England... Rather sad that it's over...
Written in much the same manner as the previous books.... it's a brooding blend of plotting, spying, fighting and the humour of Derry Brewer the fictitious spymaster.... using the Wars of the Roses as a plot outline - which in itself is quite fantastical. It's a great way to learn by osmosis how the country evolved into the more stable Tudor period - bringing to life the dull and dusty dates and events which I vaguely remember learning in class.

We're very lucky to have characters like Iggulden around - not only willing to put in the research but having the talent to convert that into entertaining literature. If you haven't read the previous parts then you have the fabulous opportunity to get hold of them and read straight through all 4.

Engrossing - the Finale at Bosworth is Superb

I really enjoyed the first 3/4 of this book and felt that it was on par with the first book. The last qtr however seemed to be rushed i would of liked to of seen the Edward 4th bit extended and maybe ended with the rise of Richard the 111 then had another book

A good ending ... But mot great

whistling through the last year's of the wars of the Roses, it is both brutal and fascinating.

historical fiction close to its very best

I didn't want it to end, but at least it ended well! ☺ Such an enjoyable series - I hope he might be tempted to continue with Henry VII

a strong finish to a great series
