The Beggars Throne

The intricate tale of honor, treachery, power, and intrigue recounts the dynastic battle between the Lancastrians and the Yorkists during the fifteenth-century War of the Roses. A master storyteller, David Falconieri, plunges readers into the early years of Edward IV’s reign as the bitter struggle for the crown of England unfolds. We see nobility and commoners, families and lovers, all swept up in the hand-to-hand battles, political tumult, and emotional trials that the conflict inspires.
