Synopsis of " White Rose Blossoms": An Alternative History of Richard III's Children

White Rose Blossoms is a fast-paced adventure story with sword fights, poison, and pestilence. Nothing is easy, nobody is safe.

This alternate history of Richard III and Henry VII opens during the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. Halfway through an all-out charge against Henry, Richard changes tactics and retreats. 

Wounded, Richard escapes and goes into hiding with several loyal men, namely Sir Francis Lovell, Sir Richard Ratcliffe, and Sir Robert Brackenbury. These men protect Richard during his recovery whilst planning to raise an army to dethrone Henry.

Richard’s illegitimate children – Sir John of Gloucester and Lady Katherine, Countess of Huntingdon – disguise themselves as peasants to avoid Henry’s soldiers. They also face the more dangerous threat of Katherine’s husband who wants to sever all ties to the fallen king, which includes Katherine.
