FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE FAIRMILE SERIES, PHILIPPA GREGORY, COMES THIS COMPELLING NOVEL.
Somewhere beyond the shores of England, a Pretender is mustering an army. He claims to be brother to the queen, the true heir to the throne.
When Henry Tudor picked up the crown of England from the mud of Bosworth Field, he knew he would have to marry the princess of the rival house – Elizabeth of York – in an effort to unify a country divided by war for nearly two decades. His bride was still in love with his enemy, and her mother and all the loyal House of York still dream of their missing heir making a triumphant return.
Elizabeth faces a terrible dilemma: can she stand by a king whose support and courage are crumbling before her eyes? How can she choose between Tudor and York, between her new husband and the boy who claims to be her beloved lost brother. But is he the lost boy sent into the unknown by his mother, the White Queen, or a counterfeit prince? – a low-born enemy to Henry Tudor and his York princess wife?

‘Engrossing’ Sunday Express
‘Popular historical fiction at its finest, immaculately researched and superbly told’ The Times
