Unravel the enigma of Richard III in this meticulously researched historical novel, painting a nuanced portrait of the controversial king.
Step into the tumultuous world of 15th century England with Sharon Penman's bestselling The Sunne in Splendour. This painstakingly detailed novel breathes life into the infamous King Richard III, showcasing his prowess as a battle commander during the Wars of the Roses.
Richard is depicted as a fiercely loyal, courageous man of principles. A devoted brother, a beloved patron of the arts, and a generous friend, he is far more than the warrior his reputation suggests.
But in the treacherous waters of court politics, Richard's code of conduct betrays him. Pulled under by the tides of history, he becomes the man immortalised as a usurper of the throne, and the figure behind the enduring mystery of the Princes in the Tower.
Crafted with vibrant brushstrokes of medieval life, love, and intrigue, The Sunne in Splendour peers into the past, dispelling myths and illuminating a lost era with poignant realism. This special thirtieth anniversary edition invites readers to explore the man behind the myth and cast a fresh gaze on one of history's most misunderstood monarchs.
