The cruel fate of the Princes in the Tower is one of the most
fascinating--and most troubling--of all England's historical murder
mysteries. But what was the truth behind the deaths of the young
Edward V and his brother, Dickon, taken from their mother,
Elizabeth Woodville, King Edward IV's beautiful widow, and their
guardian, Anthony Woodville? And what about the man who would
become King Richard III?
In a brilliant feat of historical daring, the acclaimed author
of "The Mathematics of Love" reimagines the tragedy of the youngest
victims of the Wars of the Roses. Through the voices of Elizabeth,
Anthony, and Una--a historian who herself knows grief, betrayal,
and secret love--Emma Darwin re-creates the lethal power struggles
into which the boys were born, their heart-wrenching imprisonment,
and the ultimate betrayal of their innocence.
