SynopsisThe inspiration for the critically acclaimed Starz miniseries The White Queen , #1 New York Times bestselling author Philippa Gregory brings to life the extraordinary story of Elizabeth Woodville, a woman who rises from obscurity to become Queen of England, and changes the course of history forever. Elizabeth Woodville is a woman of extraordinary beauty and ambition. Her mother is Jacquetta, also known as the mystical lady of the rivers, and she is even more determined to bring power and wealth to the family line. While riding in the woods one day, Elizabeth captures the attentions of the newly crowned King Edward IV and, despite her common upbringing, marries him in secret. When she is raised up to be his queen, the English court is outraged, but Elizabeth rises to the demands of her exalted position and fights for her family's dominance. Yet despite her best efforts, and even with the help of her mother's powers, her two sons become pawns in a famous unsolved mystery that has confounded historians for centuries: the lost princes in the Tower of London. In this dazzling account of the deadly Wars of the Roses, brother turns on brother to win the ultimate prize: the throne of England.

Another winner by Philippa Gregory
I have not seen the series on Starz but I absolutely loved this book. I began it on a Friday night and it was such a page turner I finished it by Sunday night. Definitely recommend it for anyone who enjoys historical fiction. I haven't started the next book but I understand it doesn't continue where this book ends. I've been a Philippa Gregory fan for years and I will continue to be as her craft continues to get better and better (hard to believe it can get any better).Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
