About this listen

February 1460.

In the bitter dawn of a winter’s morning, a young man and a woman escape from a priory. In fear for their lives, they are forced to flee across a land ravaged by conflict.

For this is the Wars of the Roses, one of the most savage and bloody civil wars in history. Where brother confronts brother, king faces king and Thomas and Katherine must fight just to stay alive....

Well written and beautifully narrated, this is a gripping story. And although I'm not keen on scenes of violence, the descriptions of battles helped me understand the true nature of civil war. I look forward to listening to more of this series.
