Publisher's Synopsis
In the year of our Lord 1483, England is plunged into crisis following the abrupt death of King Edward IV.
By right, the throne belongs to his twelve-year-old son, but the boy's uncle, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, has other ideas.
Before the young Prince of Wales can be crowned king, the Duke of Gloucester has his nephew imprisoned in the Tower of London and proclaims himself King Richard III.
Just when all seems to be lost for the rightful heir, he manages to escape with the assistance of complete strangers, and sets about raising an army to restore just and legitimate rule to England.
For both sides failure isn't an option. The future of a kingdom hangs in the balance...
This is the first novella in the Chronicles of Ascension series.
