Requiem of the Rose King, Vol. 14: Volume 14

The intrigue and royal conspiracy in the Bards Richard III is given a dark manga twist that will appeal to aficionados of both comics and the classics. 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 Shakespeares Richard III, Aya Kannos dark fantasy finds the man who could be king standing between worlds, between classes, between good and evil. Reigning as king at last, Richard slips out of the banquet to celebrate in Buckinghams loving arms. But due to Richmonds behind-the-scenes machinations, Richards happiness is short-lived. And when questions arise about the true parentage of Richards son Edward, the very foundation of his rule is shaken.
