Synopsis
Though many have tried to commandeer her crown, Philippa Gregory once again proves herself as the reigning queen of Tudor fiction with the second volume of her "Cousins' War" saga, which depicts the triumph and treachery of the Wars of the Roses. Gregory has found one of her most magnificently duplicitous characters yet in Margaret Beaufort, the mother of Henry VII, who was a 14-year-old widow when she began maneuvering and manipulating in order to assure that her infant son would one day attain the throne of England. Beaufort will stop at nothing to see her plan come to fruition, as she strategically arranges marriages (for herself and her son), forges alliances with bitter enemies, and repeatedly feigns submissive loyalty while nurturing her own ambitions.
Publisher's Note
Determined to see her son Henry on the throne of England, pious Margaret Beaufort arranges politically advantageous marriages, sends her son out of the country for his safety and lays secret plans for a battle between the houses of York and Lancaster. By the best-selling author ofThe White Queen. Simultaneous.
Industry Reviews
"If only history courses were as fascinating." (top pick)

"Nobody does the Tudors better than Gregory, so it should come as no surprise that her latest...is confident, colorful, convincing, and full of conflict, betrayal, and political maneuvering."
