King Henry VI, a frail and gentle man, sits upon the English throne, but his grip on power is weakening as the Hundred Years' War with France nears a disastrous end. To secure a fragile peace, his closest advisors, Derry Brewer and William de la Pole, arrange a marriage between Henry and the young French noblewoman Margaret of Anjou. However, the secret terms of the marriage—the surrender of English territories—spark outrage among the common folk and the nobility alike. As discontent simmers into open rebellion led by Jack Cade, the seeds of a bloody civil war are sown. 'Stormbird' is the epic beginning of the Wars of the Roses, chronicling the political intrigue, betrayal, and the struggle for the crown of England.
