The forgotten story of Cecily Neville, Duchess of York. A strong
woman who claimed the throne for her family in a time of war... 'A
compelling story of divided loyalties and family betrayals.
Dramatic and highly evocative' Woman & Home England, 1459. One
family united by blood. Torn apart by war... The Wars of the Roses
storm through the country, and Cecily Neville, Duchess of York,
plots to topple the weak-minded King Henry VI from the throne. But
when the Yorkists are defeated at the battle of Ludford Bridge,
Cecily's family flee and abandon her to face a marauding
Lancastrian army on her own. Stripped of her lands and imprisoned
in Tonbridge Castle, the Duchess begins to spin a web of deceit.
One that will eventually lead to treason, to the fall of King Henry
VI, and to her eldest son being crowned King Edward IV. 'O'Brien
manages to reinvent historical fiction' My Weekly 'This thrilling
historical novel has it all - high politics, drama, emotion,
excellent writing ... It's a rollercoaster of a read' Carol McGrath
'Dramatic and highly evocative' Woman's Weekly
