The first book in #1Â New York Timesâ€“bestselling author Conn Igguldenâ€™s brilliant new historical series about two families who plunged England into a devastating, decades-long civil war.

In 1437, the Lancaster king Henry VI ascends the throne of England after years of semi-peaceful regency. Named â€œThe Lamb,â€ Henry is famed more for his gentle and pious nature than his fatherâ€™s famous battlefield exploits; already, his dependence on his closest men has stirred whispers of weakness at court.

A secret truce negotiated with France to trade British territories for a royal brideâ€”Margaret of Anjouâ€”sparks revolts across English territory. The rival royal line, the House of York, sees the chaos brought on by Henryâ€™s weakness and with it not only opportunity in the monarch, but also their patriotic duty in ousting an ineffectual king. As storm clouds gather over England, King Henry and his supporters find themselves besieged abroad and at home. Who or what can save the kingdom before it is too late?
