About this book
The story
A widow of no royal blood catches the eye of a young king, and Elizabeth Woodville finds herself Queen of England in the thick of the Wars of the Roses. Philippa Gregory follows her as she learns to hold that place in a court of shifting loyalties, fighting tenaciously for the fortunes of her family while the houses of York and Lancaster tear at one another.
Her two sons became the Princes in the Tower, whose fate historians still argue over, and Gregory brings careful research and a storyteller's instinct to that old mystery. This is the first of the Cousins' War novels, and it will suit anyone who likes history told from the inside, through a clever, ambitious woman making her way in a world run by men.
