A historical novel inspired by the notorious pretender to the English throne who risked all to be known as Richard Plantagenet.   Was Perkin Warbeck, as he claimed, Richard of York, son of King Edward IV, and the rightful heir to the throne won by Henry VII on Bosworth Field? Or was he simply another unscrupulous adventurer who reveled in the threat of rebellion, played for high stakes, and lost?   This riveting novel explores one of the most fascinating personalities in English history, describing Perkin Warbeck's futile attempt to rouse the West Country against the king and his inevitable fate, as well as the tragic story of his wife, Lady Katherine Gordon--who, at the same time in love with and half-despising her husband, risked her freedom for him and found herself drawn remorselessly into the grim drama.
