Brought to you by Penguin.

The epic first instalment in the thrilling War of the Roses series, perfect for fans of Game of Thrones, Bernard Cornwell and Wolf Hall.

King Henry V - the great Lion of England - is dead.

It's up to his son to take the throne, but frail in body and mind, he is dependent on his supporters to run his kingdom.

Richard, Duke of York, believes that without a strong king England will fall.

And as the threat from France grows, and rebellion on home soil spreads, his fears seem justified.

Who can save the throne?

Who will defend the kingdom?

Eleştirmen yorumları

Pacey and juicy, and packed with action
Energetic, competent stuff; Iggulden knows his material and his audience
A novel that seamlessly combines narrative, historical credence and great knowledge of the period
Iggulden is in a class of his own when it comes to epic, historical fiction
Superbly plotted and paced
Conn breathes new life into the darkest and most dramatic of times, with a flair for both the huge scale and human interest of it all
Exceptionally well-written and gripping
Compelling reading
A benchmark for historical fiction, showcasing Conn Iggulden at his finest
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, author and head of HWA)

Great listen but very difficult to marry up the story with historical facts which turned out to be quite few and far between.

Good book

I saw mixed reviews of this book but since I've loved everything else he's done I gave it a go. I wasn't disappointed.
the story is fascinating and visceral as is Igulden's style. it is a bit confusing for the first half hour as many different characters are introduced but you soon begin to remember who's who.
my advice is that if you like his previous work you'll like this.

excellent read, conn igulden is consistent as ever

My apologies for the title – I don’t know why, but I did struggle with this story – I found it hard to keep up with the characters, times and places and yet I did enjoy it very much, it just took me thinking time to put things in place. I can take nothing away from the reading or writing of the story, Conn Igguldon is certainly a great historic writer that can bring characters to life, both those who are fictitious and historic, amalgamating the two and is excellent at giving them a personality. This comes out very strongly in this book. I would recommend it for its historic content and of course the writers quality, it just took me some time to absorb!!! (personally, not surprising though!). Enjoy.

Good.
