Synopsis

The final part of the Rebels and Brothers series.

The Wars of the Roses must be settled on the field of battle. The prize? The crown of England.

July 1469: just as England has finally found peace, a revolt breaks out against King Edward IV, forcing Ned Elder to take up his sword once more. But is Ned the warrior he once was?

As the kingdom spirals into civil war, divisions between Ned and his sisters, Emma and Eleanor, threaten the family's very survival. Out of the turmoil of rebellion steps an old enemy who offers to help Emma, but can she trust him?

Will the Elder family stand together when it matters most? They must, if they are to survive.

About this title

About the Author

Derek was born in Hampshire in England but spent his teenage years in Auckland, New Zealand, where he still has strong family ties. For many years he taught history in a secondary school in Berkshire but took early retirement several years ago to concentrate on his writing. Apart from writing, he spends his time gardening, travelling, walking and taking part in archaeological digs at a Roman villa. Derek is interested in a wide range of historical themes but his particular favourite is the late medieval period. He writes action-packed fiction which is rooted in accurate history. His debut historical novel, Feud, is the first of a series entitled The Wars of the Roses which follows the fortunes of the fictional Elder family.
