Previously published as The Wars of the Roses Omnibus by Edwards, Rhoda (AUTHOR).DISCOVER THREE MASTERFUL HISTORICAL NOVELS IN ONE DEFINITIVE VOLUME.'The depth of the research and her love for her subject show through on every page... a compelling moving and sometimes haunting novel''— Times Literary SupplementWinner of the Yorkshire Post Best First Work AwardRhoda Edwards does for Richard III what Hilary Mantel did for Thomas Cromwell—she gives voice, depth, and dignity to a man history misunderstood.England, late 15th century. The crown is no longer a symbol of unity, but a prize in a bitter feud between two great houses—York and Lancaster. Amidst the chaos, one man’s destiny is forged in loyalty, loss, and an unrelenting struggle for truth.In Some Touch of Pity, Anne Neville, Duchess of Gloucester, offers a unique and personal perspective on the enigmatic Richard, Duke of Gloucester (the future Richard III). Raised among kings and forged in civil war, Richard is shown not only as soldier and statesman, but as husband, father, and quiet idealist—committed to justice, loyalty, and the burdens of responsibility.Anne herself emerges as one of the novel’s most moving voices—intelligent, introspective, and quietly resilient. Through her eyes we see a deeply human marriage, built on mutual trust and private grief. Their young son Edward, beloved but fragile, carries the hope of a family shaped by ambition and sorrow.In Fortune’s Wheel and None But Elizabeth, the story expands across generations. The court of Edward IV is brought vividly to life through the eyes of his physician, Dr William Hobbes—a rational observer who watches the king’s fall into illness and the dangerous ambitions of Elizabeth Woodville, the Queen. Her Woodville kin rise fast, and fall hard, sparking political divisions that will haunt the kingdom long after Edward’s death.The trilogy culminates in the raw drama of a realm on the brink—where secrets unravel, loyalties divide, and the true cost of power is laid bare. Richard’s rise to kingship and its shattering aftermath are told with rare insight, emotional truth, and lyrical power.For fans of Hilary Mantel, Sharon Kay Penman, Philippa Gregory, Elizabeth Chadwick, and Anya Seton.The Wars of the Roses and their Tudor legacy spring vividly to life in these three classic novels by expert author Rhoda Edwards.Includes· Some Touch of Pity (published in USA as The Broken Sword)· Fortune’s Wheel· None But ElizabethPraise for Rhoda Edwards:“The most moving novel about Richard III I have ever read.” — Rosemary Sutcliff“Her interpretive flair and accurate descriptive detail… puts her head and shoulders above the rest of the country.” — Times Literary Supplement“An excellent book and very persuasive.” — The Times“Rich in texture.” — The Observer“A profoundly satisfying experience.” — Cleveland Plain Dealer
