historical fiction master Conn Iggulden.

As traitors advance . . . a queen defends.
It is 1454 and for more than a year King Henry VI has remained all but
exiled in Windsor Castle, struck down by his illness, his eyes vacant,
his mind blank. His fiercely loyal wife and queen, Margaret of Anjou,
safeguards her husband's interests, hoping that her son Edward will one
day come to know his father.
With each month that Henry is all but absent as king, Richard, the duke
of York, protector of the realm, extends his influence throughout the
kingdom. A trinity of nobles--York and Salisbury and Warwick--are a
formidable trio and together they seek to break the support of those who
would raise their colors and their armies in the name of Henry and his
queen.
But when the king unexpectedly recovers his senses and returns to London
to reclaim his throne, the balance of power is once again thrown into
turmoil. The clash of the Houses of Lancaster and York may be the
beginning of a war that could tear England apart . . .
Following Stormbird, Margaret of Anjou is the second epic
installment in master storyteller Conn Iggulden's new Wars of the Roses
series. Fans of the Game of Thrones and the Tudors series will be
gripped from the word "go."
