A new Plantagenet series awaits! Perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden, Robyn Young, Alison Weir and Anthony Riches.

As royal power changes, so do the fortunes of those who serve it…

England, 1265

The attempt by Simon de Montfort to force Henry III to abide by the Magna Carta has been put down, and those who rode in his train are scattered to the wind.

Some, like William of Kenilworth, feel the need to assume a new identity, and as ‘William Bywater’ he finds himself in the service of the warlike Prince Edward.

William’s proven loyalty and courage result in him regaining his long-lost family estate of Flint, and he is engaged to form the ‘King’s Escort’, an elite group of men-at-arms who guard the king.

But a cloud gathers on the horizon when a young and impressionable prince falls under the spell of Piers Gaveston, whose influence will prove to be toxic as the throne passes from father to son.

And as always, the fortunes of those who serve the Crown are destined to balance on a knife-edge.

Will William find himself on the ruling side of history? Can he maintain the favour of the king?

Or will fortune fail him once again…?

THE ROYAL HAMMERis the first historical novel in The Wars of the Roses Saga Series.
