Riassunto

AN EPIC RETELLING OF ONE OF THE MOST BRUTAL, BLOODY CIVIL WARS IN ENGLISH HISTORY - FANS OF GAME OF THRONES, BERNARD CORNWELL & WOLF HALL WILL BE HOOKED

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 or what can save the throne? And who will save the kingdom?
