Synopsis

In England during the Middle Ages, two of the royal houses, the White Rose of York and the Red Rose of Lancaster, contested the throne in what is known as the Wars of the Roses.

The House of York’s third son Richard III carries a dark secret concerning his body. One day Richard meets a shepherd boy named Henry. Though he has had many fateful encounters in his life, he finds himself naturally drawn to Henry. However, the two of them have no idea that they are darkness and light, destined to be enemies.

William Shakespeare’s historical play Richard III is reimagined in this dark fantasy tale of fate!
