Book two in The Order of the White Boar series. How well do you know the story of the real King Richard III? It’s April 1483, and the death of his brother King Edward IV has turned the life of Richard, Duke of Gloucester upside down, and with it that of his 13-year-old page Matthew Wansford. Banished from Middleham Castle and his friends, Matt must make a new life for himself alone in London. But danger and intrigue lie in wait on the road as he rides south with Duke Richard to meet the new boy king, Edward V – and new challenges and old enemies confront them in the city. As the Year of the Three Kings unfolds – and plots, rebellions, rumours, death and battles come fast one upon the other – Matt must decide where his loyalties lie. What will the future bring for him, his friends and his much-loved master? And can Matt and the Order of the White Boar heed their King’s call on the day of his greatest need? ‘The King’s Man’, the eagerly awaited sequel to ‘The Order of the White Boar’, continues the story of Richard Plantagenet for readers aged 10 to 110.

The Kings Man (Book 2 The Order of the White Boar Series) By Author Alex Marchant – Book Review

Matthew will do anything to protect his king, even it that means defying the kings wishes just so Matt can assist in protecting him. The protagonist Matthew is such a fiercely loyal friend in all of his relationships and doesn’t hesitate to put himself in an uncomfortable or potentially dangerous situation to be there for those he cares about.  As the reader watches Matthew slowly evolve from boy to man, the reader is left on the edge of their seat to discover what will happen next. This second book in the ‘Order of the white boar’ series has only left us excited for the next instalment. Battles, love connections, friendships lost, new challenges to face, and watching the main character heading toward adulthood ‘The kings man’ is  a thoroughly enjoyable read. I award this book 5 stars.
