A dazzling historical novel set during England's War of the
Roses- the story of the courageous Anne Neville, future wife
of Richard III, who comes of age in a time of chaos...
Anne Neville, daughter of the powerful Earl of Warwick,
grows up during the War of the Roses, a time when kings and
queens are made and destroyed in an on-going battle for the
ultimate prize: the throne of England. As a child Anne falls
in love with the ambitious, proud Richard of Gloucester,
third son of the House of York. But when her father is
branded a traitor, her family must flee to exile in France.
As Anne matures into a beautiful, poised woman, skillfully
navigating the treacherous royal court of Margaret of Anjou,
she secretly longs for Richard, who has become a great man
under his brother's rule. But as their families scheme for
power, Anne must protect her heart from betrayals on both
sides-and from the man she has always loved, and cannot
bring herself to trust.
