For a short while, the children of the House of York bloomed like flowers in the summer sunlight. They should have been the future of the York dynasty, yet illness, tragedy and sheer misfortune took away their promise. Like tender blooms, they had no protection against the oncoming storm. Edward. Only heir to the Lord of the North. Kathryn, auburn-haired, care-free and born to love life. Her brother, John. Dark, serious. Desperate to please his father. Their cousin, another Edward. His birth-right tainted, his manner childlike, protected by his older sister, who watches over his every move. Five young lives, blighted by events that took place long before they were born. These eight short stories look at both sides of their lives, of light and shadow, of sunlight and storm.
