Synopsis
King Henry V - the great Lion of England - is long dead.
In 1437, after years of regency, the pious and gentle Henry VI, the Lamb, comes of age and accedes to the English throne. His poor health and frailty of mind render him a weakling king -Henry depends on his closest men, Spymaster Derry Brewer and William de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk, to run his kingdom.
Yet there are those, such as the Plantagenet Richard, Duke of York, who believe England must be led by a strong king if she is to survive. With England's territories in France under threat, and rumours of revolt at home, fears grow that Henry and his advisers will see the country slide into ruin. With a secret deal struck for Henry to marry a young French noblewoman, Margaret of Anjou, those fears become all too real.
As storm clouds gather over England, King Henry and his supporters find themselves besieged abroad and at home. Who, or what can save the kingdom before it is too late?

Review
Praise for WARS OF THE ROSES: STORMBIRD
“Capturing the stink and gore, violence and romance of medieval life, Iggulden makes real those grand characters who live in the collective memory. A page-turner sure to have readers eager for the next in the series.”
—Kirkus
“Several of the well-drawn characters, especially the dashing, totally fictional Brewer, stand out to carry the narrative.... And this is just the beginning....Iggulden’s easy-to-follow take on the War of the Roses will keep followers of the old English royals completely engrossed. Bernard Cornwell fans will also enjoy.”
—Library Journal
Praise for the novels of Conn Iggulden
"A triumph of historical fiction." — Publishers Weekly
(starred review)
"A rip-roarin' read, and inspiration to go and sack a few cities on your own." — Kirkus Reviews
"What Robert Graves did for Claudius, Conn Iggulden now does for the most famous Roman emperor of them all — Julius Caesar."—William Bernhardt, author of Capitol Betrayal
"A swashbuckling adventure story...Iggulden is a grand storyteller"— USA Today
"Emperor is stunning.... Words like 'brilliant,' 'sumptuous,' and 'enchanting' jostle to be used, but scarcely convey the way Iggulden brings the tale to life." — Los Angeles Times
"A brilliant, tough-as-nails story. I wish I'd written it. It left me wanting more. A novel of vivid characters, stunning action and unrelenting pace." — Bernard Cornwell author of 1356

Paperback. Condition: Good. Historical fiction master Conn Iggulden retells the gripping story of the English Civil War in this first instalment of his latest Wars of the Roses series. King Henry V - the great Lion of England - is long dead. In 1437 his gentle son comes of age and takes the throne. Frail in body and mind, King Henry VI is dependent on his supporters to run his kingdom. Richard, Duke of York, however, believes that without a strong king England will fall.

On the counsel of his advisers, Henry marries the young princess Margaret of Anjou, in order to forge an alliance with France - but is it too late? As the storm clouds gather, King Henry and his queen are besieged abroad and at home. Who can save the throne? Who will save the kingdom?
