Philippa Gregory, "the queen of royal fiction" (USA
Today) Presents the first of a new series set amid the
deadly feuds of England known as the Wars of the
Roses.
Brother turns on brother to win the
ultimate prize, the throne of England, in this dazzling
account of the wars of the Plantagenets. They are the
claimants and kings who ruled England before the Tudors, and
now Philippa Gregory brings them to life through the
dramatic and intimate stories of the secret players: the
indomitable women, starting with Elizabeth Woodville, the
White Queen.
The White Queen tells the story of
a woman of extraordinary beauty and ambition who, catching
the eye of the newly crowned boy king, marries him in secret
and ascends to royalty. While Elizabeth rises to the demands
of her exalted position and fights for the success of her
family, her two sons become central figures in a mystery
that has confounded historians for centuries: the missing
princes in the Tower of London...
