Synopsis

Edward IV was one of England’s most charismatic kings - and one of its most haunted.
Crowned amid the bloodshed of the Wars of the Roses, he secured the House of York’s hold on the throne, only for his dynasty to unravel in the most disturbing way imaginable.

After Edward’s death, his two young sons vanished within the Tower of London, becoming the enduring mystery known as the Princes in the Tower. Were they murdered to clear the path to power - or did they survive, hidden from history?

The Sons of York is a sweeping historical novel that traces the rise and fall of the Yorkist dynasty, exploring loyalty, legitimacy, and the devastating human cost of dynastic ambition. Set against the turbulent years that culminated in Bosworth Field, it brings to life the people behind one of England’s greatest unresolved mysteries.

Set during the same turbulent years as The White Queen of Middleham, this novel turns its focus to Edward IV and the fate of his sons.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Janet Evershed was the daughter of the Mayor of York, a successful and well-regarded mercer. But Janet’s life didn't follow the usual pattern for a well brought-up girl. Due to a series of unexpected events she became a very young widow running her own growing business in London; the mistress of the charismatic king; and an exile in the Low Countries with her life inextricably entwined with those of the Princes in the Tower. They were all sons of York – Edward IV, Richard III, their brother George and all their children. Janet was not part of the elite, glittering court. She was both a bystander and a part of their lives.
