{"product_id":"9781526678348","title":"The pretender","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe year is 1480 and England is in peril. The much-despised Richard III is not long for the throne, and the man who will become Henry VII stands poised to snatch the crown for himself. But for twelve-year-old John Collan, living in a remote village with his widowed father, these matters seem far away. But history has other plans for John. Stolen from his family, exiled - first to Oxford, then to Burgundy, and then Ireland - and apprenticed to a series of unscrupulous political operators, he finds himself groomed for power; not as John Collan, but as Edward Plantagenet, 17th Earl of Warwick - and rightful heir to the throne. Far from home at the Irish court, preparing for a war that will see him become king or die trying, John has just his wits - and the slippery counsel of his host's daughter, the unconventional Joan - to navigate the choppy waters ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jo Harkin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55327857607034,"sku":"9781526678348","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9781526678348_4c7d513a-9773-4e71-9570-7481d13feef2.jpg?v=1775233832","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781526678348","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
