For readers of George R. R. Martin, Philippa Gregory, and the classic work of T. H. White, an epic novel laced with fantasy based on the original Game of Thrones, the battle to control the crown in the bloody, fratricidal War of the Roses.
Acclaimed on its UK publication, with raves in the Guardian, Literary Review, Buzz magazine, TLS, the Herald, the Times (London), Prospect, Strange Horizons, and the London Sunday Times so far, and a blurb from Neil Gaiman
Pop-culture phenomena like A Game of Thrones, Outlander, and numerous series with supernatural beings and/or time travel premises and contemporary themes make this a perfect historical fantasy for our time.
The author's 1982 novel The Arabian Nightmare is considered by some critics to be one of the greatest fantasy novels of the twentieth century, and Neil Gaiman wrote of it, "I have friends who love smart, deep fantasy novels, and can never find enough. Robert Irwin's novel The Arabian Nightmare was one of my favourite books of the early 1980s and one of the finest fantasies of the last century. His newest novel, Wonders Will Never Cease, is as erudite and well-constructed . . . but is set in a medieval England that never quite was, and uses stories and fictions to illuminate and to make us gasp with awe.
