Number 1 bestselling author Philippa Gregory continues her series, The Cousins´ War, with Jacquetta Woodville, mother of the White Queen

---

´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 through 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 turns from a delightful child growing up in intimacy and friendship with the family of Richard Duke of York to become 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.
