About the Author
Toby Clements was inspired to write the Kingmaker series having first become obsessed by the Wars of the Roses after a school trip to Tewkesbury Abbey, on the steps of which the Lancastrian claim to the English throne was extinguished in a welter of blood in 1471. Since then he has read everything he can get his hands on and spent long weekends at re-enactment fairs. He has learned to use the longbow and how to fight with the poll axe, how to start a fire with a flint and steel and a shred of baked linen. He has even helped tan a piece of leather (a disgusting experience involving lots of urine and dog faeces). Little by little he became less interested in the dealings of the high and mighty, however colourful and amazing they might have been, and more fascinated by the common folk of the 15th Century: how they lived, loved, fought and died. How tough they were, how resourceful, resilient and clever. As much as anything this book is a hymn to them. He lives in London with his wife and three children. This is his second novel.
Review
"Toby Clements is an exceptionally good writer. His debut was a tour de force. His second novel outdoes that, bringing new depth to his characters, and continuing his vivid, blood-soaked insight into the real, grim, ghastly, and occasionally glorious human cost of the Wars of the Roses. This is history in the raw: powerful, potent stuff, always real, but always gloriously unpredictable. This is a gem of a book, one of my must-reads for this year." * Manda Scott * "This is a miserable, vicious world, vividly recreated by Clements. Immersive historical fiction at its best." * The Times * "The book glides along effortlessly, it's a simple excellent love story, bursting with action, intrigue and history. a real contender for book of the year." * Parmenion Books * "It's raw and heart-rending... A searing narrative that will definitely stay with you after you've closed the book." * Fantasy Smorgasboard * "It's raw and heart-rending... A searing narrative that will definitely stay with you after you've closed the book." * Fantasy Smorgasboard *
