He and his allies, Warwick 'the Kingmaker' and the Duke of Clarence, now rule England. The mad king, meanwhile, is ruled by his formidable queen, Margaret of Anjou.
The Yorkist cause is far from lost. Edward IV has escaped abroad, where he plans to return and reclaim his throne. Soon he sails for England to rally his supporters. The fragile peace of England is shattered, and the weary kingdom once again plunged into civil war.
Defeated at Barnet, Oxford is forced to flee to Scotland and then to France, where he begs the French king for aid. He collects a fleet and turns to piracy, attacking Yorkist ships in the Channel, before descending on Cornwall. There, he raises the banner of Lancaster once more...

David Pilling
I'm a writer and researcher, addicted to history for as long as I can remember. The medieval era has always held a fascination for me, perhaps because I spent much of my childhood exploring the misted ruins of castles in Wales. I also have an interest in the Byzantine Empire, the post-Roman period in Britain and the British & Irish Civil Wars.
I am a prolific author and have written and published a number of series and stand-alone tales. These include my first published novel, Folville’s Law, which chronicled the adventures of Sir John Swale in the last days of the reign of Edward II of England. This was followed by The White Hawk series, set during the Wars of the Roses, a six-part Arthurian series, and many more. I have also co-written two high fantasy novels with my good friend, Martin Bolton.
I am currently working on a book about the Montfortian civil wars in England in the late 13th century, and hope to produce more nonfiction works in the future, as well as continuing to work on fiction.
Most of my books are available as ebooks and paperbacks, and many are in the process of being converted to audio.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteHi David, your book sounds amazing. I will pick it up on #KU once I have read the books already in my library. Will you publish and audiobook for the series in the future?
