Reseña del libro "Band of Iron (en Inglés)"
A family of a hundred legends, thought Catharine. Everyone knew of the Lords of Trobridge, the Trevors. Born to two royal lines, their men served Saxon, Norman, and Plantagenet Kings as battle captains and counselors. These women were sought by every royal and noble house in England, Scotland, and the Continent. Known for their tempers, education, and beauty, these women forged powerful and wealthy alliances. Trevor wealth, legendary in the extreme, funded great trading and counting houses in the Low Countries, extending to Venice, Genoa, trading in the Levent and Middle Sea. In the reign of Richard III, the Wars of the Roses are still fresh. Catharine Clifford, a Ward of the Crown, finds herself a pawn in an unwilling marriage to Sir Peter Trevor, a great York Baron. Her father and brother are attainted Lancaster outlaws. Henry Stafford, the Second Duke of Buckingham, The Lord Constable, aims Catharine as prey to ruin Peter, counting on her virulent Lancaster prejudice and passion. Treachery and intrigue force the young couple to join forces to save themselves and their people. A forger, a cook with aptitude for poison, a murderous mercenary, and a calculating noble woman are ruthless tools placed to destroy them. In their request to defeat the duke, they find he is plotting rebellion against the King. Can they warn Richard in time? Through all of this, will they realize that they love each other?
