Description
Set in the turbulent world of fifteenth-century England, this ambitious historical novel follows the early lives of four brothers destined to stand at the center of the Lancastrian struggle for power. As the future Henry V, the charismatic Thomas, the steadfast John, and the younger Humfrey come of age, family loyalties collide with political intrigue, rebellion, and deadly rivalry. Combining richly researched history with vivid characterization, the novel explores duty, brotherhood, ambition, and the burdens of inheritance. It is a sweeping portrait of a royal family—and an era shaped by war and shifting allegiance.
