The Kingmaker's Daughter: Cousins' War 4

Widowed at fourteen, Anne Neville must learn to make her own moves in the Wars of the Roses.
Reading guide
The publisher describes this as the fourth novel in the Cousins' War series, so it is best read as published. The story opens with Anne already widowed and estranged from her family, and the blurb gives enough of that background to follow the book.
Anne Neville, daughter of the powerful Earl of Warwick, is widowed at fourteen, fatherless and stripped of her inheritance. With her mother locked in sanctuary and her sister Isabel now an enemy, she must begin plotting her own way forward.

Description

Anne Neville is born to the most powerful man in fifteenth-century England, her father the Earl of Warwick, the Kingmaker who makes and unmakes kings. Both his daughters carry royal blood, and Philippa Gregory tells the story through Anne herself, a girl moved about the board of the Wars of the Roses. Widowed at fourteen, fatherless and stripped of her inheritance, with her mother locked in sanctuary and her sister Isabel turned enemy, she has to start making her own moves.

Her plans to escape her sister's house lead to a marriage made without permission to the young Duke of Gloucester, the future Richard III, and to a court where the beautiful queen becomes a mortal rival. The publisher describes it as the fourth novel in the Cousins' War series. It is written for anyone drawn to the women history usually leaves in the margins.
