Description

Elizabeth Woodville is a widow of no royal blood when a young king notices her, and she finds herself Queen of England in the middle of the Wars of the Roses. Philippa Gregory follows her as she learns to hold her place at a court of shifting loyalties, fighting tenaciously for her family while the houses of York and Lancaster tear at one another.

Her two sons became the Princes in the Tower, and their fate is one of the most debated mysteries in English history. Gregory brings careful research and a storyteller's instinct to that puzzle. This first of the Cousins' War novels will suit readers who enjoy history told from the inside, through a clever, ambitious woman making her way in a world run by men.
