Aya Kanno

Requiem of the Rose King

Über Richard, den dritten Sohn des Hauses York, schwebt ein böses Omen. Er glaubt, dass ein Fluch ihn verfolgt und seinen Lieben Unheil bringen wird. Aber ist es wirklich ein Zauber, der sein Schicksal vergiftet? Oder sind es die Intrigen, die die Kämpfe um die Königskrone in England beherrschen, die ihn verdammen...?! In ihrem düsteren Werk lässt sich Autorin Aya Kanno von den historischen Ereignissen und Shakespeares Erzählungen um den späteren König, Richard III., inspirieren. Und zeigt ihn als Jüngling, der zwischen Gut und Böse steht und verzweifelt nach etwas Höherem sucht... Inspiriert von den Shakrespeare-Dramen HENRY IV. und RICHARD III.!

Emily Cortes

Richard, the ambitious third son of the House of York, believes he is cursed, damned from birth to eternal darkness. But is it truly fate that sets him on the path to personal destruction? Or his own tormented longings? Based on an early draft of Shakespeare’s Richard III, Aya Kanno’s dark fantasy finds the man who could be king standing between worlds, between classes, between good and evil. Richard’s father, the patriarch of the House of York, is poised to become king of medieval England during the bloody Wars of the Roses. But just as success is imminent, he is abruptly cut down. Plunged into despair, Richard acts out in revenge and must face a powerful and beautiful new enemy.
