SynopsisHenry Tatersall has it all: a devoted wife, two boys who worship him, and a job he loves as Executioner in the Tower of London. Then King Edward IV of England dies, and his two young sons are brought to the Tower for safekeeping. Henry’s boys quickly befriend the young princes while Henry, likewise, strikes up a friendship with their guardian, Lord Hastings. But these are dangerous times and there are men who would claim the Throne of England for themselves. As cries of treason fill the air, Henry finds himself forced to choose between love and loyalty, friendship and duty… a choice that will alter his life – and history – forever. |
