In 1483, Edward and Richard of York--Edward, by law, already
King of England--were placed, for their protection before Edward's
coronation, in the Tower of London by their uncle Richard. Within
months the boys disappeared without a trace, and for the next five
hundred years the despised Richard III was suspected of their
heartless murders.
In "To the Tower Born," Robin Maxwell ingeniously imagines what
might have happened to the missing princes. The great and terrible
events that shaped a kingdom are viewed through the eyes of
quick-witted Nell Caxton, only daughter of the first English
printer, and her dearest friend, "Bessie," sister to the lost boys
and ultimate founder of the Tudor dynasty. It is a thrilling story
brimming with mystery, color, and historical lore. With great
bravery and heart, two friends navigate a dark and treacherous
medieval landscape rendered more perilous by the era's scheming,
ambitious, even murderous men and women who will stop at nothing to
possess the throne.
