From the author of the international best-selling Tudor Trilogy ”I love the way the author tells the story simply, concentrating on Brandon himself but giving us a view of the exciting but dangerous world of the Tudor court and the way that the affable young prince Henry turned into an unpredictable, capricious King. At times there is a sudden jump of time and place from one paragraph to the next, but this is easy to forgive when you are transported so easily into another interesting situation. A great introduction into the Tudor world.” Lizanne Lloyd Brandon - Tudor Knight continues the story of the Tudors in the historical fiction tradition of C J Sansom, Philippa Gregory and Hilary Mantel
