If you want to do some extracurricular reading to enhance this season, give my book, The Hollow Crown, a read.
It's all about the Wars of the Roses, England's big civil war that I'll be covering on seasons nine and 10 of A Dynasty to Die For.
Now, there's a brand new special edition of The Hollow Crown available via Millenia Books.
It has sprayed edges, a unique cover, it comes with an exclusive poster, and every copy is signed by me.
And if you're one of This Is History's royal favorites, use the code JONES15 to get an extra 15% off.
