'I was a penniless, landless petitioner, my Neville blood a curse, my future dependent on the charity of those who despised meâŚâ
Anne Neville is the heiress and daughter of the greatest powerbroker in the land, Warwick the Kingmaker. Trapped in a deadly tangle of political intrigue, she is a pawn in an uncertain game, used by the houses of Neville, York and Lancaster alike.
In Englandâs glittering, treacherous court, not all wish to see the Nevilles raised high. The Earl of Warwickâs ambition and pride lead him into an attempt to depose the Yorkist King;his treason forces his family into exile.
Humiliated and powerless in a foreign land, Anne must find the courage and the wit to survive in such a dangerous manâs world.
Compulsively readable, Anne OâBrien vividly evokes the story of Richard IIIâs queen with a passion and vibrancy reminiscent of Phillipa Gregory and Alison Weir.
