England, 1461: The young King Edward of York has taken the country by force from King Henry VI of Lancaster. Sir Jasper Tudor, Earl of Pembroke, flees the massacre of his Welsh army at the Battle of Mortimer’s Cross and plans a rebellion to return his half-brother King Henry to the throne.

When King Henry is imprisoned by Edward in the Tower of London and murdered, Jasper escapes to Brittany with his young nephew, Henry Tudor. Then after the sudden death of King Edward and the mysterious disappearance of his sons, a new king, Edward’s brother Richard III takes the English throne. With nothing but his wits and charm, Jasper sees his chance to make young Henry Tudor king with a daring and reckless invasion of England.

Set in the often brutal world of 15th century England, Wales, Scotland, France, Burgundy and Brittany, during the Wars of the Roses, this fast-paced story is one of courage and adventure, love and belief in the destiny of the Tudors.

A Word from the Author

Without the bravery and determination of Jasper Tudor the Tudor dynasty would never have gained the English throne. I live close to the Welsh seaside town of Tenby and have been explored the ancient tunnel he used to help his nephew Henry Tudor reach a ship in the harbour and escape to Brittany. I’ve also visited the castles where they spent their long exile, and stood on the pebble beach at Mill Bay where they returned to claim the crown. Spanning from the aftermath of the disastrous Battle of Mortimer’s Cross to victory at the Battle of Bosworth. Jasper’s story is based on true events and many years of research. It deserves to be told.
