Deeply researched, the book bursts with action but even more importantly we are given passages of real feeling between human beings we think we may know but perhaps never completely understood until this book. It is a moving, insightful, and engrossing depiction of the controversial king." Nancy Bilyeau, best-selling author of <em>The Blue</em></p><p>"A wonderfully realized life of tragic, doomed Richard. The author uses the latest discoveries and old texts to fully explore the complicated 'crouch-back', and give us a fine portrait of the lover and the warrior, a noble, flawed and heroic king and man." C. C. Humphreys, author of <em>Vlad: The Last Confession</em></p><p>"Anne Easter Smith has written five well-regarded novels set in the Wars of the Roses, but the one she has been preparing to write, both in her imagination and after fifty years of research, is this novel about Richard III. Her mission was to bring Richard Plantagenet the man to life and let him speak directly to us in this meticulously rendered novel." Margaret George, international best-selling author of <em>The Confessions of Young Nero</em> and <em>Elizabeth I.</em></p><br>
