The turbulent Medieval saga marches on! Perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden, Robyn Young, Alison Weir and Anthony Riches.
Could kingship become a curse…?
England, 1377
King Edward III is on his deathbed and discord is arising over who will succeed him.
His immediate successor will be ten-year-old Richard II, son of the deceased Black Prince. But snubbing the descendants of Lionel of Clarence in favour of John of Gaunt should Richard die without heirs causes much resentment.
When Richard brings the nation to the brink of rebellion through his unwise choice of favourites, it’s left to the House of Lancaster to seize the throne and restore an uncertain peace.
Those caught up in the chaos include Thomas Bywater, armed retainer to the descendants of Clarence, his apothecary sister, Alice and her husband Edmund Plowright, Royal Chamberlain.
In such uncertain times, they are at the mercy of the warring nobility they serve.
But have they chosen the right side…?
THE POISONED CHALICEis the fourth historical novel in The Wars of the Roses Saga Series.
