Publisher Description

A dazzling historical novel set during England's War of the Roses- the story of the courageous Anne Neville, future wife of Richard III, who comes of age in a time of chaos...

Anne Neville, daughter of the powerful Earl of Warwick, grows up during the War of the Roses, a time when kings and queens are made and destroyed in an on-going battle for the ultimate prize: the throne of England. As a child Anne falls in love with the ambitious, proud Richard of Gloucester, third son of the House of York. But when her father is branded a traitor, her family must flee to exile in France. As Anne matures into a beautiful, poised woman, skillfully navigating the treacherous royal court of Margaret of Anjou, she secretly longs for Richard, who has become a great man under his brother's rule. But as their families scheme for power, Anne must protect her heart from betrayals on both sides-and from the man she has always loved, and cannot bring herself to trust.

The Virgin Bride

What a wonderful depiction of Anne Neville & the Duke og Gloucester! The War of the Roses period so fraught multi-tiered royal plots and political intrigue. It's so well written & enhanced with creative license, I couldn't stop reading until I found out what happened from chapter to chapter. Terrifically exciting! The attention to detail made me feel like I was in the midst of it all myself.
