Though we tend to think exciting English history starts after the Tudor Dynasty, the truth couldn't be further than that. The 100 years prior to the Tudors are known as the War Of The Roses, a chronicle of fights, battles, intrigue and deception, all in the name of power and the strive of the Lancasters and the Yorks to sit on the throne of England.

The Last Knights of Cambria Book 5: Deaths of the Rose
Gideon is back in trouble (what else is new) and jumping forward in time 30 years to the War of the Roses. The year is 1463. The Lancasters are on the run, and the Yorks are in power. Gideon is allied with the Lancasters but at the moment the current threat is supernatural, and hunting both houses. As usual, living people die, dying people live, Richard III is involved somehow. Fourth wall breaks galore. Found families. Everybody is probably gay, swords are described in loving detail, people are not, lovely platonic friendships, did we mention swords? Yes, you may learn something about history and feel the overwhelming urge to join the Richard III society, but that's a risk you'll have to take. Trigger/Content Warnings: some mild crude humor (middle school level) and some profanity. Brief mention of abusive families. Fantasy violence. Some moderate peril and frightening scenes.Complete

In the year of 1455, the biggest war in history raged through England and would be known as the War of the Roses. This was also a strained period of one particular young girl's life, which would change her world as she knew it. Her name was Lady Rosalie Catherine Howard, the daughter of Thomas Howard, the Duke of Norfolk. During the war, Thomas had sided with the Yorks and helped their side win the throne of England. As a result, he promised his only daughter's hand in marriage to the eldest York brother, who would now be King of England, Edward IV. Little did anyone know, these two star-crossed lovers were meant to be together and they would be the ones to bring peace, joy, happiness, harmony, and prosperity to England for years to come.Complete
