Book Overview
How well do you know the story of the real King Richard III?
It's April 1483, and the death of his brother King Edward IV has turned the life of Richard, Duke of Gloucester upside down, and with it that of his 13-year-old page Matthew Wansford.
Banished from Middleham Castle and his friends, Matt must make a new life for himself alone in London. But danger and intrigue lie in wait on the road as he rides south with Duke Richard to meet the new boy king, Edward V - and new challenges and old enemies confront them in the city.
As the Year of the Three Kings unfolds - and plots, rebellions, rumours, death and battles come fast one upon the other - Matt must decide where his loyalties lie. What will the future bring for him, his friends and his much-loved master? And can Matt and the Order of the White Boar heed their King's call on the day of his greatest need?
'The King's Man', the eagerly awaited sequel to 'The Order of the White Boar', continues the story of Matthew Wansford and his friends in the service of their good master, Richard Plantagenet, for readers aged 10 to 110.
Books 3 and 4 in the series, King in Waiting and Sons of York, continue Matthew and his friends' story in future years. The books are available separately or in a single omnibus edition: King in Waiting, Books 3 and 4. Praise for The King's Man
'A book full of action, heart, fire and hope. A cracking read, and I highly recommend it.' Narrelle Harris, author of Kitty & Cadaver
'A brilliant, gripping, heart-wrenching sequel.' Jennifer Emerson, Amazon review
'Although a young adult novel this is an engaging read for adults.' Discovering Diamonds
