The King's Curse

The riveting story of Margaret Pole, daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, and one of the few surviving members of the Plantagenet dynasty after the Wars of the Roses. Plantagenet, once carried proudly by Margaret like a crown upon her head, is now, at the end of the 15th century.

The Kingmaker's Daughter

Anne Neville and her sister Isabel are daughters of the most powerful magnate in 15th century England. Ever ruthless, always plotting, in the absence of a son and heir, Warwick uses his daughters as pawns in his political games. Anne grows from a delightful child at the court of Edward IV and his queen, Elizabeth Woodville, into a woman facing the world alone after her father turns on his allies. Widowed at 14, she plots her escape and marries the handsome Duke of Gloucester in secret, but danger follows her.

The Lady of Rivers

Jacquetta, daughter of the Count of Luxembourg, was married to John, Duke of Bedford. Widowed at nineteen, she risks marrying a gentleman for love and becomes a close friend of Queen Margaret of Anjou. Her dramatic story, intertwined with magic and royal connections, is one of the most neglected of the period.

The Red Queen

This second book brings to life Margaret Beaufort, a mysterious character from The White Queen. The child-bride of Edmund Tudor, she uses her determination to infiltrate the house of York and ensure her son, Henry Tudor, triumphs as King of England, ultimately founding the Tudor dynasty.

The White Princess

The haunting story of Elizabeth of York, wife to Henry VII. As the eldest daughter of Edward IV, she faces a conflict of loyalties between the red rose and the white, forced into marriage while reconciling her growing love for Henry with her loyalty to the House of York.

The White Queen

Philippa Gregory brings the tumult of The Wars of the Roses to life through Elizabeth Woodville, the White Queen. A woman who won a king's love and fought for her family's success, she made hard choices to protect those she loved, giving an unforgettable voice to an extraordinary woman at the heart of a devastating conflict.
