Synopsis
The world of Philippa Gregory's White Queen seen from the point of view of her enemy: Edward IV's secret mistress. The Wars of the Roses come alive in the first volume of the Anne saga.
The story begins in 1450, when civil unrest sweeps England and the struggle for the crown is at its peak. Deep in a western forest, a baby is born. Powerful forces plot to kill both mother and child, but somehow the newborn girl survives. Her name is Anne.
Fifteen years later, England has a charismatic young king, Edward IV. When Anne is brought to London to be a servant in the household of a wealthy merchant, her unusual beauty soon provokes jealousy, lust and intrigue. But Anne has one special quality that saves her: her knowledge of herbs and healing. News of her remarkable gift spreads and she is brought to save the life of Edward's ailing queen.
And so Anne comes to live in the royal palace, and it is here she finds her destiny: to be loved by the king himself.
