Book description
Henry VI is tricked into marrying Margaret ? lover of the Earl of
Suffolk, who hopes to rule the kingdom through her influence. There is
one great obstacle in Suffolk?s path, however ? the noble Lord
Protector, who he slyly orders to be murdered. Discovering this
betrayal, Henry banishes Suffolk, but with his Lord Protector gone the
unworldly young King must face his greatest challenge: impending Civil
