Kingmaker's Daughter

Gesigneerd exemplaar.
'I have lost my father in battle; my sister to Elizabeth Woodville's spy; my brother-in-law to Elizabeth Woodville's executioner; my nephew to her poisoner; and now my son to her curse...' The gripping and ultimately tragic story of Anne Neville and her sister Isabel; the daughters of the Earl of Warwick; the most powerful magnate in England through the Cousins' Wars. In the absence of a son and heir; he ruthlessly uses the two girls as pawns but they; in their own right; are thoughtful and powerful actors. Against the backdrop of the court of Edward IV and his beautiful queen; Elizabeth Woodville; Anne turns from a delightful child growing up in intimacy and friendship with the family of Richard Duke of York to become ever more fearful and desperate as her father's enemies turn against her; the net closes in and there is; in the end; simply nowhere she can turn; no one she can trust with her life.
