Tempus knows history lied.
When immortal magician Fred is pulled back through time, he discovers the moment the timeline twisted into a lie: two frightened boys rescued from the Tower and forced to live under names the world would accept. Edward becomes Lambert Simnel — a child crowned in Dublin, pardoned as a pretender. Richard becomes Perkin Warbeck — a young man embraced by Yorkists, hunted by Tudors, executed for a truth he never got to speak.
Raised apart, erased from memory, rewritten by history… yet never forgotten by Tempus and Fred.
Blending historical mystery with mythic fantasy, The Pretender’s Creed reveals the secret lives of the lost heirs of York — and the truth the world refused to see.
