Three different, yet equally relentless women who will scheme, manipulate, and seduce their way onto the English throne.   The Red Queen brings to life Margaret Beaufort, heiress to the red rose of Lancaster, who charts her own way through treacherous alliances and secret plots. Setting her heart on putting her son, Henry, on the throne, she sends him into exile and pledges him in marriage to the daughter of her sworn enemy. She then masterminds one of the greatest rebellions of all time—all the while knowing that her son has grown to manhood, recruited an army, and awaits his opportunity to win the greatest prize.

4.5 A Pre-Shakespearean Tragedie of Errors
So, I re-reviewed this on Goodreads, but since this is my blog, I thought I'd explain a little more. When I first reviewed this book on the Interwebs, it was after a weird reading/skimming experience (two years ago) in which everything in the book seemed like chaos.
