The White Princess (The Plantagenet and Tudor Novels, #5)

“I am a queen of no choice.”

Lizzie has to marry the man who killed her lover on the battlefield. She smiles for the cameras while her heart breaks in private. It shows how much women sacrificed to stop the wars.

“We are the daughters of Melusina.”

Elizabeth Woodville never stops plotting for her family. Even while locked in a convent, she moves pieces like a chess master. Motherhood in this era looks a lot like a cold war.

“He lives in fear of his own shadow.”

Henry Tudor is paralyzed by his own paranoia. He sees a threat in every shadow and every smile. Power seems to make him more of a prisoner than anyone else.

Lizzie is caught between her mother and her husband. Choosing one means betraying the other. It is a lonely way to live a life.
