Best-selling author Conn Iggulden launches a brilliant new historical series, The Wars of the Roses

1437 - The pious and gentle Henry VI comes of age and accedes to the English throne. His poor health and fragility of mind render him a weakling king, dependent on his closest men to run his kingdom.

Yet there are those who believe England must be led by a strong king if she is to survive. With England's territories in France under threat, and rumours of revolt at home, fears grow that Henry and his advisers will see the country slide into ruin.

As storm clouds gather over England who or what can save the kingdom before it is too late?
