    About this audiobook

    Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Ravenspur by Conn Iggulden, read by Roy McMillan.

    England, 1470.

    A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.

    The Yorkist king Edward IV is driven out of England, his wife and children forced to seek sanctuary from the House of Lancaster. Yet rage and humiliation prick Edward back to greatness. He lands at Ravenspur, with a half-drowned army and his brother Richard at his side. Though every hand is against them, though every city gate is shut, they have come home. The brothers York will not go quietly into banishment.

    Instead, they choose to attack.

    Yet neither Edward nor Richard realize that the true enemy of York has yet to reveal himself. Far away, Henry Tudor has become a man. He is the Red Dragon - 'the man of destiny' who seeks to end the Wars of the Roses. His claim will carry him to Bosworth Field.

    There will be silence and the mourning of queens. There will be self-sacrifice and terrible betrayals. Two royal princes will be put to death. There will be an ending -- and a new royal house will stand over them all.


    Praise for Conn Iggulden's Wars of the Roses series:

    'Iggulden breathes new life into the darkest and most dramatic of times, with a flair for both the huge scale and human interest of it all' Star

    'Pacey and juicy, and packed with action' Sunday Times

    'Iggulden is in a class of his own when it comes to epic, historical fiction' Daily Mirror

    'Absorbing and bloody' The Times
