Desire the Kingdom is a historical novel centering on the lives of the last Plantagenet king and queen of England who stood at the centre of treason, turmoil and tragedy.

For the queen, Anne Neville, daughter of Warwick the Kingmaker, and wife of Richard III, life became one of survival. As she struggles in her love for Richard, she becomes caught up in the desire of others to claim the throne of England and by treachery, deceit and murder in the war between the houses of York and Lancaster.Richard III, whose name is synonymous with villainy as depicted by Shakespeare is presented here in a different light. Holding to high principles of loyalty, he strives to support his king as he pursues his love for Anne. While confronting betrayals, insurrections and family strife, he continually fights his conscience after taking the throne, following the death of his brother and King, Edward IV.With a certain inevitability, the tale races to the usurpation of the throne, the coronation of Richard III, the disappearance of the Princes in the Tower, Anne’s death on the day of a total solar eclipse, and Richard’s battle at Bosworth Field which changed English history and initiated the Age of the Tudors.

REVIEWS

“This is a well published and written book. Zabka achieves where other novelists fail by showing Anne, not to be a passive, frail, weak woman, but rather a woman who was possessed with the right temperament and passion needed for the turmoils that Richard and she faced...This book is a welcome addition to anyone’s growing library, fiction or non-fiction.”
— Joe Anne Ricca. CEO/President. Richard III Foundation.

“...it is terrific. The author has an intensely personal way of developing each of the characters...and she particularly paints a human, heartwarming portrait of Anne Neville.”
— Ilysa Magnus. The Historical Novels Review.

“...I found Anne to be well-drawn; neither wimpy or ‘spunky’ like most romance heroines, but intelligent. She can discuss politics, and she knows when and when not to fight.”
— Myrna Smith. Ricardian Reading Editor. Richard III Society.
