The Devil in Ermine

by Isolde Martyn

Overview

A Kingdom for the Taking

1483: England has a new king – a mere boy – but who is to rule the kingdom until he comes of age? His ambitious mother, Queen Elizabeth Woodville, or his uncle, Richard, Duke of Gloucester?

   Into this impasse steps the eloquent and charming Harry, Duke of Buckingham, Richard's cousin, but what are his true intentions? Here for the first time is his account of that fateful summer when Gloucester was crowned as King Richard III. But of the two men, who is the statesman and who the villain?

  In this novel, rich in intrigue, Isolde Martyn, author of Mistress to the Crown and The Maiden and the Unicorn, draws Richard III and Buckingham, two of history's most enigmatic men, out from the shadows.
