Kingmaker: Kingdom Come

1470

The recent tensions between King Edward and his great ally the Earl of Warwick lie forgotten these past months, but even as winter tightens her grip on the land, the peace is shattered by a vicious attack on one of the King’s allies.

Long buried secrets are brought to the surface, and Thomas and Katherine must finally decide where their loyalties lie and to choose between fight or flight, knowing either choice will incur a terrible price.

From Lincoln to Bruges, from Barnet to the great battle at Tewkesbury, both must play their part in one of the most savage wars in history.

The wars of the roses.

Toby Clements does it again with another powerhouse of a book: thrilling and literate, engaging, passionate, deeply moving and full of historical detail of the sort that fills me with awe for the fortitude of our ancestors and yet makes me so glad I live in the safety of the twenty-first century. This is going to be one of the stellar series of our generation, redefining that period of history that we think we know, and discover we really don’t. Bravo!

1470 Tensiunile recente dintre regele Edward si marele sau aliat, contele de Warwick, sunt uitate in ultimele luni, dar chiar si in timp ce iarna ii strange controlul asupra pamantului, pacea este spulberata de un atac vicios asupra unuia dintre aliatii regelui. scoase la suprafata, iar Thomas si Katherine trebuie sa decida in cele din urma unde se afla loialitatile lor si sa aleaga intre lupta sau fuga, stiind ca ambele alegeri vor avea un pret teribil. De la Lincoln la Bruges, de la Barnet la marea batalie de la Tewkesbury, ambii trebuie sa joace partea lor intr-unul dintre cele mai salbatice razboaie din istorie. Razboaiele trandafirilor. Toby Clements o face din nou cu o alta putere a unei carti: palpitanta si literata, captivanta, pasionala, profund miscatoare si plina de detalii istorice de genul care umple ma ingrozesc de taria stramosilor nostri si totusi ma bucura atat de mult ca traiesc in siguranta secolului al XXI-lea.
