An Exhilarating, Magical Blend of History and Fantasy Set during the
Original Game of Thrones--For Fans of T. H. White, George R. R. Martin,
and Philippa Gregory.
Beginning with the Palm Sunday battle of Towton, the bloodiest ever
fought on English soil, Wonders Will Never Cease relates the fabulous
adventures of one man and his noble family amid the chaos and political
intrigue that beset England during the War of the Roses, when two great
houses battled for control of the throne. The young Anthony Woodville,
Lord Scales and brother to the future queen, Elizabeth Woodville, seems
to die during that battle and be resurrected. While dead, he witnesses
the Grail ceremony last seen during the age of King Arthur, before
England was cursed by war and Hell so filled with bodies that the dead
now walk the land.
What he wakes to and witnesses for the rest of his life as he defends
his king is a ceaseless stream of wonders: a family rumored to be
descended from the fairy Melusine and imbued with her dragon's blood; a
talking head that predicts the future; a miraculous cauldron; a museum
of skulls; alchemists and wizards; the Swordsman's Pentacle; and plenty
of battles, sieges, swordplay, jousts, treachery, murder, beheadings,
and horrific torture. And all the while, stories--some so porous that
their characters enter history and threaten their maker.
