Rosemary Hawley Jarman Books Overview
Flowering of the Rose
In this superb novel, as spell binding as any tale of high adventure, but firmly based upon contemporary records, Richard III lives again through the eyes of his intimates and the woman whose ill starred love brought him brief joy, and her a bitter consummation. Against the background of lusty, fifteenth century England, with its superstition and witchcraft, its courtly manners and cruel punishments, Rosemary Hawley Jarman presents a fascinating and faithful portrait of one of the most enigmatic figure in our history as he appeared to his contemporaries.
White Rose Turned to Blood
As Edward IV lay on his deathbed, he had no knowledge of the dark conspiracy which was to surround his son, and his brother Richard after his death. He decreed that Richard should act as protector to the young Edward, but his wish was honoured for just a short time until Edward was named a bast*ard and the crown placed on Richard’s unwilling head. This is the story of the two tumultuous years of his reign told by the Man of Keen Sight, who befriended and then betrayed him, and by the Nun, who had known him in happier times. Here is the story of the last Plantagenet, who died a king on Bosworth Field…
The Captain’s Witch
The Captain’s Witch Her kiss can maim you Her eyes can blind you Her bed is shadows…
She is the dark of the moon She is all that is dear And she is death Can you trust her? Where will her lantern lead you? To the bliss of death Or the death of bliss Know the most dangerous of all…
‘One of the greatest dark fantasies ever written in any genre.’ Tanith Lee Rosemary Hawley Jarman was born in Worcester, England and came to fame in 1971 with her novel We Speak No Treason. Reprinted many times, the book’s hero is the much maligned King Richard III. It sold 30,000 copies in its first week of publication, and gained her the prestigious Author’s Club Silver Quill for best first novel, while in the U.S.A. she was nominated as a Daughter of Mark Twain. Further equally successful novels followed, also an illustrated account of the Battle of Agincourt. She lives in an antique stone cottage between sea and mountain in West Wales. The Captain’s Witch is her first fantasy novel, and she is now working on a sequel. Her website is: www. rosemaryhawleyjarman. com
The King’s Grey Mare
The King’s Grey Mare was Elizabeth Woodville, Queen and wife of Edward IV. Beautiful beyond belief, with unique silver grey hair, she had once known joy of a marriage based on love only to see it snatched away on the battlefield. Hardened and changed by grief, Elizabeth became the tool of her evil ambitious mother the witch, Jaquetta of Bedford who was determined that her daughter should sit on the throne of England. By trickery, deception, and witchcraft, Jaquetta’s wish was fulfilled. But even a witch could not have known the tragedy which lay in store for The King’s Grey Mare.
Crown in Candlelight
Katherine of Valois, raised amidst the madness and lechery of the French court, wed to a conquering English king, alone and afraid in a world of treachery and violence.
