The Lamb Of God EPUB

England, the 1460s: the conflict known as the Wars of the Roses, pitting Lancastrian against Yorkist, is at its height. After his terrible experiences at the Battle of Towton and the siege of Bamburgh Castle, Philip Neville is tasked with finding and escorting the recently deposed Henry VI - a man so pious and kind-hearted that many call him 'the lamb of God' - to London. During the period of relative peace that follows, Philip, previously disappointed in love, is at last persuaded to take a wife and make his way at court but finds it difficult to rein in his belligerent and insubordinate nature.
Despite his burning hatred for the ambitious nobles who have profited from the war, Philip remains steadfastly loyal to the new king, Edward IV. However, that loyalty is tested as never before when the alliance between the two most powerful men in the country - King Edward and Richard Neville, known as 'Warwick the Kingmaker' - begins to fray...
The Lamb of God is the second book in Philip Photiou's War of the Roses trilogy. The first, The Wrath of Kings, was praised by best-selling author Philippa Gregory for its 'intense realism and wealth of period detail': qualities that The Lamb of God displays on every page.
