Set during the dramatic Year of Three Kings (1483), The Year of Three Kings is a gripping historical fiction adventure novel set against the final, violent years of the Wars of the Roses. As the English crown passes rapidly from Edward IV to Edward V and finally Richard III, political turmoil engulfs both England and Scotland. The story follows Robert, a young Scottish adventurer torn between loyalty to his clan and the dangerous ambitions of powerful rulers. His journey takes him through secret missions, stolen gold, attempted assassinations and a failed rebellion in Wales, where he risks his life to rescue a duchess. As war and betrayal shape the medieval world around him, Robert must navigate shifting alliances while confronting questions of honour, identity and survival. Rich in medieval history, political intrigue and fast-paced adventure, The Year of Three Kings will appeal to fans of historical adventure fiction, Wars of the Roses novels, and epic stories of courage and ambition set in late medieval Britain.
