I’m delighted to reveal the cover for King in Waiting – at last!
As with the previous books in The Order of the White Boar sequence, this has been designed by the very talented Ollie Bennett of MoreVisual.
I hope it offers an intriguing hint or two as to what may be contained within the novel’s pages… Do let me know what you think!
The full cover will soon be available, but in the meantime, the following blurb will give you a flavour of what the book has in store…
1486
These are dangerous days for the Order of the White Boar
King Richard III has been betrayed and killed
Victorious Henry Tudor sits uneasily on the throne of England
Richard’s loyal friend, Francis Lovell, plots revenge
Alys Langdown, ward of the Queen, awaits an unknown fate
And ever-loyal Matthew Wansford serves his new master, Edward Plantagenet, true King of England – who now must seek his own road …
From exile in Flanders to an uncertain welcome over the sea – what challenges lie ahead for the Order and for the King in Waiting?
Follow Matthew and his friends’ adventures in Book 3 of The Order of the White Boar
