Synopsis

The brilliant retelling of the Wars of the Roses continues with Bloodline, the gripping third novel in the new series from historical fiction master Conn Iggulden.

Winter 1461: Richard, duke of York, is dead—his ambitions in ruins, his head spiked on the walls of the city.

King Henry VI is still held prisoner. His Lancastrian queen, Margaret of Anjou, rides south with an army of victorious northerners, accompanied by painted warriors from the Scottish Highlands. With the death of York, Margaret and her army seem unstoppable.

Yet in killing the father, Margaret has unleashed the sons.

Edward of March, now duke of York, proclaims himself England’s rightful king.

Factions form and tear apart as snow falls. Through blood and treason, through broken men and vengeful women, brother shall confront brother, king shall face king.

Two men can always claim a crown—but only one can keep it.

Following Margaret of Anjou, Bloodline is the third epic installment in master storyteller Conn Iggulden’s new Wars of the Roses series. Fans of the Game of Thornes and Tudors series will be gripped from the word "go."

“Sure-footed, pacy, gore-splattered … rings absolutely true.”—Daily Mail

Este autor constituye mi mejor descubrimiento de Novela Histórica durante 2019. No lo había leído hasta que tropecé con esta Tetralogía sobre la Guerra de las dos Rosas.

Goodreads review by Mike on August 29, 2023

Read a few books by this author and enjoyed them. But they were set in Roman times. The 100 years war is not a period of history in which I am familiar. My A level history covered 1845-1939 so was a tad focussed and unrelated. Whilst I have read a lot about the Roman era. That said this first book in......more

(1.1) I don't know much shit about British history, so I will try to see how far I can go with this book. (1.2) I also tried to look 'Wars of the Roses' up on Wiki, but it's already a struggle just trying to understand who is who, and who is fighting who, which family is involved. LOL (1.3) I don't un......more
