October 1470. King Edward IV is forced into exile when Warwick the Kingmaker decides to unmake the king he helped put on the throne and reinstall old, sickly Henry VI as a puppet. He flees over the sea to Burgundy; with him, is his loyal younger brother, Richard of Gloucester.

However, Richard’s ship is blown into Holland by a storm—the eighteen-year-old youth, penniless owing to the haste of his departure from England, must find his way through an unknown country and reunite with his brother, the King.

But finding each other is not enough—together the two sons of York must now attempt to raise an army to reclaim England’s throne, but such a task is easier said than done. They hope for aid from Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, husband of their sister, Margaret, but Charles is a hot-headed, temperamental man with Lancastrian leanings…
