Cicely's King Richard - Sandra Wilson

The first in a historical trilogy exploring the intensity and sensitivity of history's "wicked" King and his illicit relationship with his young niece: the perceptive and enticing Cicely

It is 1483, and the children of the late Yorkist King Edward IV have been declared illegitimate by their own uncle, the new King Richard III. His second niece, Cicely Plantagenet, hardly knows him, but from the outset is fiercely drawn to this charismatic man, with whom she shares tremendous affinity and rarest of all, his trust. But there will be complete, unconditional passion and the loss of all innocence for Cicely before Richard has to defend his realm, his cause, and his life, against the invading force of the Lancastrian pretender, Henry Tudor, at the Battle of Bosworth Field.Thisimpressive trilogyoffersa new and compassionate look at the much maligned, misunderstood Richard, Duke of Gloucester.
