More about the book

The narrative centers on Elizabeth of York, the daughter of King Edward IV, whose life is turned upside down by her father's death and her uncle Richard III's ruthless rise to power. As she faces the loss of her brothers and Richard's dangerous proposal, her fate takes a turn when Henry Tudor defeats Richard at the Battle of Bosworth Field. Their marriage unites the feuding houses of Lancaster and York, and Elizabeth becomes the first queen of the Tudor dynasty, shaping the future of England and giving birth to Henry VIII. Alison Weir vividly brings her historical journey to life.
