But her struggle to protect Queen Margaret when Henry VI falls into a mysterious sleep conflicts with the future Jacquetta “sees” for her own daughter, Elizabeth: a seat on the throne of England, bearing the white rose of York….

Enchanting, exciting, couldn't put the book down. Philippa Gregory adds a lot to her study of history with her fiction and really brings her characters to life. Jacquetta is truly an amazing strong woman, and really inspires me to learn more of the women in history.
