To the Tower Born

<p>In 1483 Edward and Richard of York--Edward by law already King of England--were placed for their protection before Edward's coronation in the Tower of London by their uncle Richard. Within months the boys disappeared without a trace and for the next five hundred years the despised Richard III was suspected of their heartless murders. </p><p>In <em>To the Tower Born</em> Robin Maxwell ingeniously imagines what might have happened to the missing princes. The great and terrible events that shaped a kingdom are viewed through the eyes of quick-witted Nell Caxton only daughter of the first English printer and her dearest friend Bessie sister to the lost boys and ultimate founder of the Tudor dynasty. It is a thrilling story brimming with mystery color and historical lore. With great bravery and heart two friends navigate a dark and treacherous medieval landscape rendered more perilous by the era's scheming ambitious even murderous men and women who will stop at nothing to possess the throne. </p>
