What happens is a matter of history: a secret marriage, a shocking reveal, and a vicious contest for the young King's ear (and purse) that forces civil war to drag on in England for much longer than perhaps it would have.
She is Elizabeth Woodville and the King is Edward IV. It's 1464 and a young widow stands at the side of the road, clutching the hands of her two young sons, waiting for the new King to ride past. A must for fans of romantic historical fiction. Gregory manages to make her flawed but charismatic and contemporary but not anachronistic.
Summary: Satisfying epic centring on a much-maligned figure of the Wars of the Roses - Elizabeth Woodville.
