The Wars of the Roses are at a decisive stage.
On the battlefield, the tide appears to have turned against Edward IV and his Plantagenet dynasty is under threat. At court, his new wife and her ambitious family are undermining his power and advancing their own positions.
For those wearing the white rose of York, the future looks bleak.
For Bess Bourchier, lady-in-waiting to the Queen, friend to the King and wife to his cousin, it is a time of conflicting emotions: of love, of shame, of hope. From her position at the heart of the court, Bess bears witness to an extraordinary period of English history: a time when families were split, loyalties were tested and when supporting the wrong claimant to the throne was all too easy.
The Sun in Splendour is the final book in Juliet Dymoke’s epic chronicle of the Plantagenet dynasty during one of the most turbulent and exciting times in English history.
For fans of Sharon Penman and Elizabeth Chadwick.
