In a tumultuous era marked by peril and intrigue, reversals of fortune and violent deaths, the passions of a few rule the destiny o England and change the course of history.
Based on history, this acclaimed trilogy recounts the life of alleged villain Richard III in fifteenth century England. Like Romeo and Juliet, Richard of Gloucester and Lady Anne Neville are bound by love and swept apart by a family feud. When civil war erupts, Anne's father, the Kingmaker, forces her to wed Edward of Lancaster. Edward is slain in battle and the young lovers expect to marry. Instead, they encounter another devastating obstacle that threatens to part them forever.
This tale of love and war, tragedy and ultimate triumph is the prize-winning debut that launched Sandra Worth's career. It claims five of the fifteen awards and prizes she has won.

He is placed in the Warwick household, where he befriends John, Lord ...
I read this too long ago for me to remember it clearly. Although there were bits I liked (was this the one with the descriptive arrival into London via London Bridge?) I vaguely recall some aspects of it annoyed me greatly, but I think there was another similar book I read at about the same time (an...
Yet another attempt to tell the story of Richard III and Anne Neville, first book of a trilogy (no, I didn't read the other two). I found this one to be very dull to get through, and a thorough waste of my time. Only two stars. Skip this one and find Sharon Kay Penman's excellent The Sun in Splendou...
