About This Event

William Prince writes historical fiction rooted in his native Northumberland. Raised in a working-class industrial home on Tyneside and a history graduate of Newcastle University, he still lives in the region, and his Houses of War novels follow the battles and betrayals on the rugged border between England and Scotland during the Wars of the Roses. In this free author talk he introduces the second book in the series. Booking is required through Eventbrite.
