Historical
Treachery in Love and War in the Struggle for the English Crown From the time he sees his parents brutally slain and his
home destroyed in a bloody Lancastrian power struggle for
the crown, young Martin Robsart's life becomes entwined with
that of England's royal Plantagenet family. Through the turbulence of civil war, Martin serves his
cousins -- Yorkist kings Edward IV and Richard III -- and
learns the cost of loyalty and love in battlefields and
bedchambers in a time when life is cheap and treachery hides
behind a smile. Through Martin's eyes, Meredith Whitford's
superbly researched and richly woven novel shows
Shakespeare's conniving and perverse Richard III in a
realistic new light - as a patriot and a lover. Never before has perceived history taken such a surprising
turn as Whitford corrects the Shakespearean myth and crowns
a new hero, bringing back to life the passion and heat of a
breathless historical moment that shaped the world - a
moment we know as the War of the Roses...a time of thorns
and treason.
