About This Book

LADY ANNE NEVILLE MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE HAPPIEST WOMAN IN ENGLAND....

But there was one insurmountable obstacle. Her father, the great Earl of Warwick, was not content with having put the handsome Plantagenet prince Edward IV on England's throne; he also aspired to be the power behind the throne. And this the popular young King would never allow.

Gentle Lady Anne, secretly in love with the King's younger brother, Richard, wanted only to marry him and live peacefully. But all her tranquil dreams were to be shattered, sacrificed to her father's fierce ambition. Hardly more than a child, Anne was torn away from all she loved--from family, Richard, and England--to become the bride of the King's greatest enemy. It seemed she might never return....

This is Anne's carefully researched true story, brilliantly reconstructed and illuminated with the somber sunset glory of the Plantagenets and the dawning of the Tudors. It is a story pulsing with sadness and love--and the gentle spirit of a woman whose only mistake was to have been born her father's daughter.
