Sinopsis

In the shadow of Sandal Castle, betrayal runs deep. Richard, Duke of York, lies dead, and his son Edmund’s blood stains the cobbles of Wakefield bridge. The House of York crumbles, but young Edward of March isn’t finished yet. Driven by vengeance, he rises tall and fierce, ready to reclaim his family’s honour. As he battles Margaret of Anjou's Lancastrian army at Mortimer’s Cross, three suns blaze in the sky—an omen of change, a sign of the Three Sons of York.
With the Crown of England at stake, will Edward rise from the ashes of loss or fall like his father? Blood will spill. History awaits in the bloodbath of Towton Field.

Reseña del editor

Richard Duke of York lies dead outside the walls of Sandal Castle, lured to his death by false talk of a Christmas truce. His second son Edmund, aged just seventeen, is murdered by Butcher Clifford, his blood staining the cobbles of Wakefield bridge outside the chapel where he had vainly sought sanctuary. The House of York has fallen...but not for long. The Lancastrian army of Margaret of Anjou has reaped the whirlwind with the treacherous slaughter at Wakefield. Edward of March, Duke Richard's heir, is coming after them, tall, handsome, young and a fearsome warrior...and he wants vengeance for the death of his father and beloved younger brother. He fights his foes at Mortimer's Cross, where Three Suns mysteriously appear in the sky as an omen, and then fares on through an unseasonal snowstorm to the field of Towton...and victory in the bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil. The prize--the Crown of England. From the author of the I, RICHARD PLANTAGENET series A novella of 25,000 words
