TESTIMONIALS:

A compelling tale packed with intrigue, jeopardy and sound judgment – this is Tudor history right out of the top drawer. -- Dan Jones

'The Tudors are the most celebrated dynasty in British history, but until now the story of their origins has been largely overlooked. This impeccably researched and endlessly fascinating new book proves that the prequel was every bit as dramatic as what followed. Not to be missed.' -- Tracy Borman, author of Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth

'Amin has knocked this one out of the park. He proved once and for all that you cannot understand Henry VII’s reign and even all of the Tudors without understanding and knowing their Welsh ancestry. Incredibly well-researched and with an eagle eye for details, Son of Prophecy is a must-read for any Tudor lovers!' -- Estelle Paranque, author of Blood, Fire and Gold

'Painstakingly and meticulously researched, Amin’s is a hugely important work that adds significantly to our understanding of England’s most famous dynasty. Groundbreaking.' -- Nicola Tallis, author of Young Elizabeth
