Hey, what's on the shelf? The Sunne in Splendour: A Novel of Richard III by Sharon Kay Penman

This is the story of Richard III as it was meant to be told. His successor, a tudor decided to besmirch all former record of Richard's reign, specifically, what kind of a person he was.

Richard's brother Edward becomes king at a young age, and the book mostly follows the relationship between Edward and Richard through the book. When Edward dies, Richard finds himself in quite the predicament whether or not he takes the crown.

There's lots of betrayal, action and backstabbing and it's definately a good read if you are into historical fiction.
