Bloodline by Conn Iggulden

5.0

Bloodline, the third volume of the Wars of the Roses series by Conn Iggulden.

I’ve ran out of superlatives to describe this series.

At the end of Trinity, Queen Margaret and her army caught Richard of York and his army by surprise. The deaths of Richard of York and Earl of Salisbury may have tasted like a victory for Queen Margaret, but it was to be short-lived as the sons of both York and Salisbury are unleashed. In Bloodline, revenge will be served, the best of friends will fallout. One’s loyalty will change.

After the battle of Wakefield in Trinity, Queen Margaret, King Henry VI and their supporters head back to London. At least, they tried to. They were refused entry into London. The bizarre Scots in the army raised concerns among the Londoners.

With uncertainties growing, Edward (son of York) and Richard (son of Earl of Salisbury) take advantage of the situation, resulting in Edward being crowned as Edward IV, the King of England. News of the coronation spread fast, and Queen Margaret and her army go into yet another bloodbath with the Yorkists.
