After Edward IV restores Yorkist rule, the young Henry Tudor is forced into exile while his mother Margaret Beaufort remains in England. She outwardly submits to the Yorkist court, negotiates a politically useful marriage to Thomas Stanley and maintains a concealed campaign to protect her son’s claim.

The deaths of Edward IV and his sons bring Richard III to the throne and turn a remote possibility into a viable rebellion. Henry’s years in Brittany and France converge with Margaret’s alliances at the Battle of Bosworth Field. The direct sequel to First of the Tudors shifts the principal viewpoints from Jasper to Henry and Margaret as the Tudor dynasty moves from survival to kingship.
