Wars of the Roses: Stormbird

The first book in #1Â New York Times bestselling author Conn Igguldenâ‚¬s brilliant new historical series about two families that 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‚¬Å“The Lamb,â‚¬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.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
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 the opportunity to oust an ineffectual king.
Â
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?
