The wheel turns once more for the Langton family! For fans of Alison Weir, Elizabeth Chadwick, Conn Iggulden and Philippa Gregory.
Isobel must protect her family … but at what cost?
1477
Isobel Langton’s husband, Earl Robert, has returned to her after his enslavement in North Africa. King Edward IV welcomes him as a hero, but he is not the man who left almost a year before.
His exploits at sea defeating Barbary pirates are hailed as a great victory, but they have left him unpredictable and withdrawn.
While Isobel struggles to preserve her marriage, King Edward fights for his reputation. Pamphlets are being distributed in London questioning his right to rule. And he needs to discover who is behind it.
As Robert’s behaviour becomes more reckless, Isobel worries that he will fall out of favour with the king. Especially seeing as the king’s brother, George, Duke of Clarence, seems to be manipulating Robert for his own gain.
As King Edward’s suspicions fall on Clarence, could Robert be caught up in the conflict? Will Isobel lose her husband forever?
Or can she find a way to prove her family’s loyalty to the Crown…?
LEGACY OF STEEL is the fourth book in THE TARNISHED CROWN series: Wars of the Roses historical fiction set in Medieval Europe.
‘Dunn’s world is utterly believable, the research meticulous, the characters deep and rich, and the sights and smells disguise the devastation that lurks at every turn.’ — Matthew Lewis, author of Medieval Britain in 100 Facts
‘an intense and compelling mix of power, passion, and politics’ — Andrew J Chamberlain, author of The Centauri Survivors
