Historical
One woman holds the key to England's most glorious
empire in this intimate retelling of the launch of the Tudor
dynasty A magnificent portrait of Elizabeth of
York, set against the dramatic background of fifteenth
century England. Elizabeth, the only living descendant of
Edward IV, has the most valuable possession in all of
England—a legitimate claim to the crown. Two princes battle
to win Britain's most rightful heiress for a bride and her
kingdom for his own. On one side is her uncle Richard, the
last Plantagenet King, whom she fears is the murderer of her
two brothers, the would-be kings. On the other side is Henry
Tudor, the exiled knight. Can he save her from a horrifying
marriage to a cut-throat soldier? Thrust into the
intrigue and drama of the War of the Roses, Elizabeth has a
country within her grasp—if she can find the strength to
unite a kingdom torn apart by a thirst for power. A richly
drawn tale of the woman who launched one of the most
dramatic dynasties England has ever seen, The Tudor Rose is
a vibrant, imaginative look at the power of a queen.
