The Kingmaker's Daughter

'I have lost my father in battle, my sister to Elizabeth Woodville's spy, my brother-in-law to Elizabeth Woodville's executioner, my nephew to her poisoner, and now my son to her curse...'

The gripping and ultimately tragic story of Anne Neville and her sister Isabel, the daughters of the Earl of Warwick, the most powerful magnate in England during the Cousins' Wars. In the absence of a son and heir, he ruthlessly uses the two girls as pawns, but they, in their own right, are thoughtful and powerful actors.

Against the backdrop of the court of Edward IV and his beautiful queen, Elizabeth Woodville, Anne transforms from a delightful child growing up in intimacy and friendship with the family of Richard Duke of York into someone ever more fearful and desperate. As her father's enemies turn against her, the net closes in and there is, in the end, simply nowhere she can turn, no one she can trust with her life.

The Kingmaker's Daughter vividly explores themes of ambition, betrayal, and the struggle for power in a royal court fraught with intrigue and danger.
