Book description
The bitter, deformed brother of the King is secretly plotting to seize
the throne of England. Charming and duplicitous, powerfully eloquent and
viciously cruel, he is prepared to go to any lengths to achieve his goal
- and, in his skilful manipulation of events and people, Richard is a
chilling incarnation of the lure of evil and the temptation of power.
