Richard Plantagenet never wanted to be king, but fate has other ideas in store.

Though Richard would be content to live a simple life in Middleham with the woman he loves, he is drawn back into the maelstrom that is English politics in the 15th century again and again.

Betrayal is rampant at the English court, perpetrated by both members of his own family, and one-time friends, those long thought to be Plantagenet allies. His brother George would take the throne for himself, and his cousin Warwick would see the former Mad King Henry restored. All the while, Richard’s brother Edward is a king without an heir.

With the death of Warwick, and Edward’s line secured after the birth of his son, Richard is finally reunited with Anne Neville, who he has loved for years, and is able to retire quietly to the countryside and begin to raise his own family.

But peace can never last, and soon enough, Edward is dead, leaving a power vacuum and two sons who are too young to rule. Chaos ensues in London, with families at each other’s throats, and Richard’s hand is forced by a terrified government when they demand he take up the crown.

Though he never wished for power, as king, Richard will rule with an even and fair hand, through triumph and tragedy, putting the care and safety of the people first. Surrounded by a scant handful of trusted friends, he strives to move England forward, toward the glorious rebirth of cultural and scientific advancements that are blooming on the Continent, until the fateful day on Bosworth field. A day that will change the world forever.
