Customer Reviews

Even when you know the ending, this tale is a whopping good one!

Conn Igguldonn has really gotten inside the people who drove England into the War of the Roses. When there’s too many cousins and no direct line male heir, Igguldonn has his characters explaining their reasons for fighting for the crown. You may not agree, but you understand. Read this book, get hooked, and then read the entire series!

Amazing!

I’m not a huge fan of battle descriptions but it was super well written and well rounded. It was engrossing and kept my attention all the way to end! I can’t wait to read the next one.
