In The Kingmaker's Daughter, #1 New York
Times bestselling author Philippa Gregory presents a novel of
conspiracy and a fight to the death for love and power at the court
of Edward IV of England.
The Kingmaker's Daughter is the gripping story of the
daughters of the man known as the "Kingmaker," Richard Neville,
Earl of Warwick: the most powerful magnate in fifteenth-century
England. Without a son and heir, he uses his daughters Anne and
Isabel as pawns in his political games, and they grow up to be
influential players in their own right. In this novel, her first
sister story since The Other Boleyn Girl, Philippa Gregory
explores the lives of two fascinating young women.
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.
