Step into the tumultuous world of 15th century England with Sharon Penman's bestselling The Sunne in Splendour. This painstakingly detailed novel breathes life into the infamous King Richard III, showcasing his prowess as a battle commander during the Wars of the Roses.

This special thirtieth anniversary edition invites readers to explore the man behind the myth and cast a fresh gaze on one of history's most misunderstood monarchs.
