‘Robyn Young realistically evokes the brutal world of the late fifteenth century, and interweaves a gripping tale with a highly original take on Richard III and the Princes in the Tower. Provocative and grounded upon impressive research, this is historical fiction of a high calibre. More, please!’ Alison Weir

1483: A secret war is born…

Jack Wynter is trapped in sun-baked Seville, sent there by his father with a locked box he’s been told to guard with his life. A vital task, or just a ruse to get an illegitimate son out of the country?

But, then, when his father is arrested for treason, Jack finds himself at the heart of a deadly conspiracy.

Seeking answers to the mystery he has inherited, Jack returns to England, where his half-brother, Harry, broods bitterly over their father’s apparent preference for a bastard son and young Prince Edward is due to become king… unless his uncle, Richard of Gloucester, makes a play for the throne.

Jack Wynter is coming home, to a realm of danger, intrigue and war. Somehow, he is connected to a secret that stretches across Europe, and beyond. A secret with the power to kill him – or make him.

Sons of the Blood is the first in an epic new series from the Sunday Times bestselling author. Look out for part two, Court of Wolves.

For Winter Nights blog
The first novel in a new series by Robyn Young, and this in itself is a cause for celebration. Robyn Young is one of the finest writers I've read in recent years. Her prose is beautiful, her historical fiction enriched by meticulous research and great empathy for its characters.

The Times
Young has done her research and writes with her usual gusto. The battle scenes are gory and the plot twists sharp.
The Bookbag
An astounding feat of historical fiction that breathes new life into a turbulent, exciting, and surprisingly relevant period of history. Crammed full with action, adventure, intrigue, politics and brilliant characters, this is a must read.
Tracy Borman
A vivid and utterly compelling novel that brilliantly evokes one of the darkest and most turbulent periods of our history. I could not put it down.
