Echoes of Treason: 7 (Wars of the Roses)

THE RED DRAGON OF WALES IS COMING... It is autumn 1483 and Richard III is king of England but rumours about the fate of his nephews are rife and dissent is beginning to grow. Waiting in Brittany is the exiled Lancastrian heir to the throne Henry Tudor who senses that his moment has come. Henrys mother Lady Margaret Stanley plots to restore her sons fortunes with a series of revolts against King Richard. After the disastrous events of the summer the embattled Elder family is scattered and in hiding. The outlawed head of the family John has escaped to Flanders along with a few loyal comrades his sister Meg and his lover Isabel. But the Elders will not be left to lick their wounds for long because William Catesby influential servant of King Richard has made it his mission to destroy them. When Lady Stanley tries to draw the Elders into the Tudor rebellion John must decide whether he can cast aside his long-held Yorkist loyalties. Should he join Henry Tudor under the banner of St. George and the dragon of Wales? It is the devils choice: poverty and a life in exile or the slim chance of returning home by the fickle path of treason.
