One man's impostor is another man's king
Perkin Warbeck is an ordinary young man in 15th-century Tournai. The son of a port official, he loves nothing more than swimming, singing, and fishing with his father. But Perkin has a secret. His real name is Richard, and he is the rightful Prince of England. Thought to have been murdered with his brother, Edward, in the Tower of London, he was covertly taken to the continent and placed with an adoptive family under an assumed identity. But when his enemies seek him out he must flee, and embarks on a new life of derring-do, sailing the high seas with the era's greatest adventurers. But Richard cannot avoid his fate forever. He knows he must return to England, to assume the throne that is his birthright. But what for Richard is a homecoming, for the new king, Henry Tudor, is nothing less than an invasion, and "Perkin" slowly comes to learn that the price of his goal is the blood of innocent men. Based on painstaking research, and with a cast of extraordinary characters from an extraordinary historical period, Perkin's tale is a vivid, authentic, and hugely entertaining historical adventure.
