Ravenspur
Ravenspur: Rise of the Tudors | Conn Iggulden
11 posts | 8 read | 1 reading | 13 to read
England, 1470. A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. The Yorkist king Edward IV is driven out of England, his wife and children forced to seek sanctuary from the House of Lancaster. Yet rage and humiliation prick Edward back to greatness. He lands at Ravenspur, with a half-drowned army and his brother Richard at his side. Though every hand is against them, though every city gate is shut, they have come home. The brothers York will not go quietly into banishment. Instead, they choose to attack. Yet neither Edward nor Richard realize that the true enemy of York has yet to reveal himself. Far away, Henry Tudor has become a man. He is the Red Dragon - 'the man of destiny' who seeks to end the Wars of the Roses. His claim will carry him to Bosworth Field. There will be silence and the mourning of queens. There will be self-sacrifice and terrible betrayals. Two royal princes will be put to death. There will be an ending -- and a new royal house will stand over them all. Praise for Conn Iggulden's Wars of the Roses series: 'A tough, pacy chronicle of bloody encounters, betrayals and cruelties. Superb' Daily Mail 'Iggulden is a master storyteller and makes our blood flow faster' Sunday Express 'Iggulden breathes new life into the darkest and most dramatic of times, with a flair for both the huge scale and human interest of it all' Star 'Pacey and juicy, and packed with action' Sunday Times 'Iggulden is in a class of his own when it comes to epic, historical fiction' Daily Mirror 'Absorbing and bloody' The Times 'One of our finest historical novelists' Daily Express

This is the fourth and final book in the series. Wars of the Roses sure were crazy times. I've randomly known about many of the events, like the princes in the Tower, but never knew how they all tied together. There were a lot of characters with similar names like Henry or Edward and I was sometimes really confused. The book was good in places and boring in others. I'm actually really happy I persevered with it and was able to finish the series.

The fourth and final book in the Wars of the Roses series and it did not disappoint! I have enjoyed this series so much! You know what‘s going to happen and yet you feel like you have no idea what‘s going to happen! To live through that time would have been crazy! You could not make this stuff up! The battles were my favourite bits; Iggulden wrote them so well you could picture everything and feel nervous with the characters! Highly recommend!

CoverToCoverGirl This was a 5🌟 series for me.. he is an amazing writer! 6y
i.z.booknook @CoverToCoverGirl I totally agree!! 6y

DGRachel @Andrew65 I am confident that at least three of these are going to be phenomenal. The other four are complete unknowns. 7y
