From "queen of royal fiction" (USA TODAY) Philippa Gregory comes
this instant New York Times bestseller that tells the story of the
remarkable Elizabeth of York, daughter of the White Queen, and mother to
the House of Tudor.
When Henry Tudor picks up the crown of England from the mud of Bosworth
field, he knows he must marry the princess of the enemy house--Elizabeth
of York--to unify a country divided by war for nearly two decades.
But his bride is still in love with his slain enemy, Richard III--and
her mother and half of England dream of a missing heir, sent into the
unknown by the White Queen. While the new monarchy can win power, it
cannot win hearts in an England that plots for the triumphant return of
the House of York.
Henry's greatest fear is that somewhere a prince is waiting to invade
and reclaim the throne. When a young man who would be king leads his
army and invades England, Elizabeth has to choose between the new
husband she is coming to love and the boy who claims to be her beloved
lost brother: the rose of York come home at last.
