As Edward IV lay on his deathbed, he had no knowledge of the dark conspiracy which was to surround his son, and his brother Richard after his death. This is the story of the two tumultuous years of his reign - told by the Man of Keen Sight, who befriended and then betrayed him, and by the Nun, who had known him in happier times.

Part 3, narrated by the Man of Keen Sight, following Richard's route to the crown. This part shows us another side of Richard, more ruthless, a strategist. Fittingly the final part is narrated by the Maiden, whose life was turned upside down through her relationship with Richard. She paid dearly for the liaison, ending up in a harsh convent, but never wavering in her love for Richard.
The book keeps up the tension from the first, even building on it as the reader wants to see what happened to turn him into the man we think we know from history class. Jarmen cuts through the legends surrounding Richard III, especially of the image left with us by Shakespeare, and presents another man. For indeed it is true, history is written by the victors and don't we all love a good villain. (
