Easter Sunday, 14 April 1471. Barnet, just north of London. England. The kingdom is in the grips of a civil war. King Edward IV, driven from his realm the previous year, has returned to reclaim his crown. His youngest brother, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, at 18 years of age prepares for his first taste of battle. Through the mist, he knows the mighty Earl of Warwick awaits them. Forced to decide between his brother and his mentor, Richard has made his choice. He has chosen loyalty… but at what cost? Exploring King Richard III as a young man, shaped by loyalty, conflict, and the price of power. Rather than viewing him as the famous villainous king, we meet Richard as he takes his first leap into the brutal world of medieval politics!
