I "met" Tony Riches via Twitter, and while we don't write in the same genre, I love historical fiction and can't wait to dive into this series! (I've even ordered the paperbacks instead of the Kindle versions, so I can send them in the next care package to my son out at the Air Force Academy.) (And yes, he's an avid fiction reader, although the Academy schedule doesn't give him as much free time to read as he had in high school.)
Tony has other books available on Amazon as well, but this looks like a great place to get started!
OWEN
– Book One of The Tudor Trilogy, by Tony Riches
England
1422: Owen, a Welsh servant, waits in Windsor Castle to meet his new
mistress, the beautiful and lonely Queen Catherine of Valois, widow of the
warrior king, Henry V. Her infant son is crowned King of England and France,
and while the country simmers on the brink of civil war, Owen becomes her
protector.
They fall in love, risking Owen’s life and Queen Catherine’s
reputation—but how do they found the dynasty which changes British history –
the Tudors?
This is the first historical novel to fully explore the amazing
life of Owen Tudor, grandfather of King Henry VII and the great-grandfather of
King Henry VIII. Set against a background of the conflict between the Houses of
Lancaster and York, which develops into what have become known as the Wars of
the Roses, Owen’s story deserves to be told.
JASPER
– Book Two of The Tudor Trilogy
Following the best-selling historical fiction
novel OWEN – Book One of The Tudor Trilogy,
this is the story, based on actual events, of Owen’s son Jasper Tudor, who
changes the history of England forever
England 1461: The young King Edward of York
takes the country by force from King Henry VI of Lancaster. Sir Jasper Tudor,
Earl of Pembroke, flees the massacre of his Welsh army at the Battle of
Mortimer’s Cross and plans a rebellion to return his half-brother King Henry to
the throne.
When King Henry is imprisoned by Edward in the
Tower of London and murdered, Jasper escapes to Brittany with his young nephew,
Henry Tudor. After the sudden death of King Edward and the mysterious
disappearance of his sons, a new king, Edward’s brother Richard III takes the English
Throne. With nothing but his wits and charm, Jasper sees his chance to make
young Henry Tudor king with a daring and reckless invasion of England.
Set in the often brutal world of fifteenth
century England, Wales, Scotland, France, Burgundy and Brittany, during the
Wars of the Roses, this fast-paced story is one of courage and adventure, love
and belief in the destiny of the Tudors.
