'The most enthralling kind of historical fiction.' HILARY MANTEL 'Fresh, wholly original . . . a delight.' THE TIMES'Vivid and amusing.' SPECTATOR 'Very enjoyable.' BIG ISSUEFrom the author of the Kingmaker series, an epic and intimate tale of adventure, myth and the creation of one of literature's greatest stories.Warwick, 1468. One drowsy summer afternoon, Sir Thomas Malory - politician, courtier, outlaw, renowned author of Le Morte D'Arthur - is seized from his garden and dragged to Newgate Prison for reasons unknown.Shivering in his foul-smelling, filthy old cell, Malory mourns his misspent life as he awaits the execution bell. But when the locking bar lifts, he is greeted by a boy of about twelve winters: the gaoler's son. Giddy with relief, Malory seizes the opportunity to recount his deeds to an audience.So begins a prison confession of a perilously exciting life full of sieges, battles and court intrigue. A Good Deliverance is the captivating tale of a man at odds with his past and the events that inspired him to write the first great work of prose fiction in English.Praise for the Kingmaker series:'Enthralling, honest . . . the past, here, is imagined with ferocity, with hunger to engage.' HILARY MANTEL'Clements is so convincing on the detail of his characters' lives that it is difficult to believe that he never walked in the brutal, messy world he conjures up on the page.'THE TIMES'Magnificent. A historical tour de force.'BEN KANE

1470The recent tensions between King Edward and his great ally the Earl of Warwick lie forgotten these past months, but even as winter tightens her grip on the land, the peace is shattered by a vicious attack on one of the King’s allies.Long buried secrets are brought to the surface, and Thomas and Katherine must finally decide where their loyalties lie and to choose between fight or flight, knowing either choice will incur a terrible price. From Lincoln to Bruges, from Barnet to the great battle at Tewkesbury, both must play their part in one of the most savage wars in history. The wars of the roses.'Should be required reading for fans of historical fiction' The Times'Toby Clements does it again with another powerhouse of a book: thrilling and literate, engaging, passionate, deeply moving and full of historical detail of the sort that fills me with awe for the fortitude of our ancestors and yet makes me so glad I live in the safety of the twenty-first century. This is going to be one of the stellar series of our generation, redefining that period of history that we think we know, and discover we really don’t. Bravo!' Manda Scott'A major achievement in historical fiction' Historia Magazine'Clements is so convincing on the detail of his characters’ lives that it is difficult to believe that he never walked in the brutal, messy world he conjures up on the page' The Times'Toby Clements’ Kingmaker series is historical fiction at its very finest - and Kingdom Come is the best of them all.'
