A GAME OF THRONES-STYLE SERIES, WITH EVENTS BASED ON REAL EVENTS When King Henry VI finally occupies the throne of England, the entire kingdom is shaken. His poor health and lack of courage and bravery become apparent, and thus it falls to his trusted men to ensure the safety of the Crown. At Henry's request, spymaster Derry Brewer and William de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk, propose an armistice with France through an arranged marriage with Margaret of Anjou, a young French noblewoman. However, not everyone welcomes this agreement, and thus a conspiracy is born, led by Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, who seeks to dethrone the king and take his place. This is the beginning of a bloody period in England, a civil war filled with alliances and betrayals, in which death is always lurking. • "A Game of Thrones is the Wars of the Roses of fantasy.
