   Koning Henry V – De Leeuw van Engeland – is al lang dood. In 1437, na jaren van regentschap, is de vrome en zachtmoedige Henry VI volwassen en bestijgt hij de Engelse troon. Zijn kwakkelende gezondheid en zwakke geest maken van hem een slappe koning – Henry gaat ervan uit dat zijn vertrouwelingen, hoofd van de geheime dienst Derry Brewer en William de la Pole, de Graaf van Suffolk, zijn koninkrijk bestieren. Maar er zijn er, zoals Richard Plantagenet, de Graaf van York, die vinden dat Engeland geleid moet worden door een sterke koning wil het koninkrijk overleven. Terwijl Engelse territoria in Frankrijk bedreigd worden er thuis geruchten gaan over opstanden, groet de angst dat Henry en zijn adviseurs het land naar de afgrond laten glijden. Als er in het geheim een huwelijk wordt bekokstoofd tussen Henry en de jonge adellijke Française Marguerite van Anjou, wordt die angst werkelijkheid. Stormwolken pakken zich samen boven Engeland als Koning Hendrik en zijn volgelingen thuis en in het buitenland worden aangevallen. Wie of wat kan het koninkrijk redden voordat het te laat is?

   The brilliant retelling of the Wars of the Roses continues with Trinity. This is a novel that seamlessly combines narrative, historical credence and great knowledge of the period. 1454: King Henry VI has remained all but exiled in Windsor Castle, struck down by his illness for over a year, his eyes vacant, his mind a blank. His fiercely loyal wife and Queen, Margaret of Anjou, safeguards her husband's interests, hoping that her son Edward will one day know the love of his father. Richard Duke of York, Protector of the Realm, extends his influence throughout the kingdom with each month that Henry slumbers. The Earls of Salisbury and Warwick make up a formidable trinity with Richard, and together they seek to break the support of those who would raise their colours in the name of Henry and his queen. But when the King unexpectedly recovers his senses and returns to London to reclaim his throne, the balance of power is once again thrown into turmoil. The clash of the Houses of Lancaster and York will surely mean a war to tear England apart.
