Anne Neville and her sister Isabel are daughters of the most powerful magnate in 15th-century England, the Earl of Warwick, nicknamed the 'Kingmaker'. Ever rules, always plotting, in the absence of a son and heir, Warwick sets about using his daughters as pawns in his vicious political games.

Anne grows from a delightful child, brought up at the court of Edward IV and his beautiful queen, Elizabeth Woodville, in intimacy and friendship with the family of Richard, Duke of Gloucester. Her life is overturned when her father turns on his former allies, escapes England and invades with an enemy army. Widowed at fourteen, fatherless, with her mother locked in sanctuary, and her sister a vengeful enemy, Anne faces the world alone.

But fortunes wheel turns once again. Anne plots her escape from her sisters house, finds herself a husband in the handsome young Duke of Gloucester and marries without permission, in secret. But danger still follows her. She finds that she has a mortal enemy in the most beautiful queen of England. Anne has to protect herself and her precious only son from the treacherous royal court, the deadly royal rival, and even from the driving ambition of her husband - Richard III.

WOW!!!

What a horrible life to have to live. Who do you trust? Definately not family or so called friends.

Great great book.

I fell in love with Queen Elizabeth and King Edward in the previous books of this series so it was interesting to read the story now from the other side. Thank you again for sharing this book with me!
