The year 1483 would become known to history as the 'Year of Three Kings', with the rapid and dramatic succession of English kings Edward IV, his son Edward V and finally Richard III seeing the Wars of the roses sweep towards their dramatic conclusion. Robert, a young Scot, is drawn into this whirl of events, caught between loyalty to his clan and the political machinations of England and Scotland. His exploits include purloining a fortune in gold, becoming embroiled in a botched rebellion in Wales, where he rescues a duchess, secret missions and attempted assassinations. Amid the political chaos, Robert struggles with questions of honour, identity and survival. The Year of Three Kings captures a world where loyalty is fragile, war is brutal and personal ambition can be both a driving force and a downfall.
