Publisher's Synopsis
England, 1450s. Queen Margaret knows she must protect the crown - and her son Prince Edward's claim to it. With her husband, King Henry, increasingly frail, it is up to Margaret to fight for their inheritance. As the Wars of the Roses rage on, her enemies lurk close. Anne, Countess of Warwick, strives to be a loyal and accomplished wife to the Earl of Warwick. But when she develops an unlikely alliance with the Lancastrian Queen Margaret, her husband's adversary, she wonders how much power now lies in her hands to determine the course of history. Crossing enemy lines, the pair strike up a thorny friendship - yet in the midst of treachery and the turmoil of battle, can the two women trust each other? Or is it only a matter of time before war drives a sword between them. . .
