Historical
From the award-winning author of A Rose for the Crown,
Daughter of York, and The King’s Grace comes
another masterful historical novel—the story of Cecily of
York, mother of two kings and the heroine of one of
history’s greatest love stories. Anne Easter Smith’s novels are beloved by readers for their
ability “to grab you, sweep you along with the story, and
make you fall in love with the characters.” In Cecily Neville, duchess of York and ancestor of every
English monarch to the present day, she has found her most
engrossing character yet. History remembers Cecily of York standing on the steps of
the Market Cross at Ludlow, facing an attacking army while
holding the hands of her two young sons. Queen by Right
reveals how she came to step into her destiny, beginning
with her marriage to Richard, duke of York, whom she meets
when she is nine and he is thirteen. Raised together in her
father’s household, they become a true love match and
together face personal tragedies, pivotal events of history,
and deadly political intrigue. All of England knows that Richard has a clear claim to the
throne, and when King Henry VI becomes unfit to rule, Cecily
must put aside her hopes and fears and help her husband
decide what is right for their family and their country.
Queen by Right marks Anne Easter Smith’s greatest
achievement, a book that every fan of sweeping, exquisitely
detailed historical fiction will devour.
