  At the court of Edward IV and his beautiful queen, Elizabeth Woodville, Anne
  grows from a delightful child to become ever more fearful and desperate when
  her father makes war on his former friends. Married at age fourteen, she is
  soon left widowed and fatherless, her mother in sanctuary and her sister
  married to the enemy. Anne manages her own escape by marrying Richard Duke of
  Gloucester, but her choice will set her on a collision course with the
  overwhelming power of the royal family and will cost the lives of those she
  loves most in the world, including her precious only son, Prince Edward.
  Ultimately, the kingmaker’s daughter will achieve her father’s greatest
  ambition.
