Publisher's summary
Born to be nobody.
Destined to be king.
Doomed to be a villain.
What matters?
Loyalty matters.
Loyalty Binds Me.
Artist Hans Holbein is summoned to the house of Sir Thomas More to receive the commission of a lifetime. He will leave with a secret that could cost him his life. He will learn the truth about the life of King Richard III, the man that the Tudor dynasty has been at great pains to villify. From his return from exile with his brother, King Edward IV, to his rise to become the king's most loyal, most trusted, and most powerful subject. From his flourishing personal life to his seizure of the throne from his nephew. This unfashionable truth is as nothing compared to the reason for hiding it.
Hans Holbein is about to be asked to hide England's greatest secret.
A secret that could tear apart the fragile Tudor regime.

Philippa Langley reveals the findings of a remarkable new research initiative: ‘The Missing Princes Project'.

Following years of intensive research in UK, American and European archives, astonishing new archival discoveries have been uncovered that change what we know about the fate of the Princes in the Tower.

Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was "just" an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? Lucy Worsley's biography is not just of a massively, internationally successful writer. It's also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman. With access to rarely seen personal letters and papers, Lucy Worsley's biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realize what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was—truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.

Story
On 22 August 1485, Richard III was killed at Bosworth Field, the last king of England to die in battle. His victorious opponent, Henry Tudor (the future Henry VII), went on to found one of our most famous ruling dynasties. Richard's body was displayed in undignified fashion for two days in nearby Leicester and then hurriedly buried in the church of the Greyfriars. Fifty years later, at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries, the king's grave was lost - its contents believed to be emptied into the river Soar - and Richard III's reputation buried under a mound of Tudor propaganda.

Story
England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of 20 years and marry Anne Boleyn. The pope and most of Europe opposes him. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man, a charmer and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people, and implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile: one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition, but what will be the price of his triumph?

Each Tudor monarch made their name with a Dudley by their side—or by crushing one beneath their feet. The Dudleys thrived at the court of Henry VII but were sacrificed to the popularity of Henry VIII. Rising to prominence in the reign of Edward VI, the Dudleys lost it all by advancing Jane Grey to the throne over Mary I. That was until the reign of Elizabeth I, when the family was once again at the center of power and would do anything to remain there . . . With three generations of felled favorites, what was it that caused this family to keep rising so high and falling so low?

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Story
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

Wonderfully written and narrated
This story was based in so much known fact, it wove a great tale that you could actually believe. It has certainly given me a different perspective on such a well known and often misrepresented character. The narrator’s telling was enthralling!

Love Matthew Lewis
The author is great, I have enjoyed reading his non fiction books a lot and also listening to his podcasts or viewing his videos. You can find a lot of content of his on History Hit (Im not getting paid to say so!) :) He is a self proclaimed Ricardian so his work has that flavor to it, as this book certainly does. The only thing that didn’t resonate with me was the depiction of Richard in his youth. Lewis has him tra-la-la-ing thru the garden at one point at, I believe, age 18. It was a bit cringe-worthy. That said, it got decidedly better. Also not sure the depiction of Margaret Beaufort helped readers let go of Phillipa Gregory’s influence on their thoughts of her, which I found an odd inclusion because Lewis as clearly stated that he doesn’t buy into that whole narrative (trying not to be a spoiler!)
I will definitely read the second book. The subject matter interests me and I enjoy the theories posited by Lewis. I’m not sure I buy them all but the truth is we don’t know how much of the Tudor propaganda is based on fact and how much is made up. Objectively, we can see in the historical record that Richard could be cold and ruthless (Earl Rivers and Hastings, anyone?) to meet his ends…doesn’t mean he off’d his nephews but certainly lays a foundation for reasonable accusation. If you like the story of Richard, read this book! Its fun.
