'Gripping' The Times Her actions could make history – but at what price? 1399: Constance of York, Lady Despenser, proves herself more than a mere observer in the devious intrigues of her magnificently dysfunctional family, The House of York. Surrounded by power-hungry men, including her aggressively self-centred husband Thomas and ruthless siblings Edward and Richard, Constance places herself at the heart of two treasonous plots against King Henry IV. Will it be possible for this Plantagenet family to safeguard its own political power by restoring either King Richard II to the throne, or the precarious Mortimer claimant? Although the execution of these conspiracies will place them all in jeopardy, Constance is not deterred, even when the cost of her ambition threatens to overwhelm her. Even when it endangers her new-found happiness. With treason, tragedy, heartbreak and betrayal, this is the story of a woman ahead of her time, fighting for herself and what she believes to be right...]]> Mon, 18 Nov 2019 11:48:32 +0200 https://anthologies.library.land/anne-obrien/561860-the_queens_rival.html https://anthologies.library.land/anne-obrien/561860-the_queens_rival.html
'One of the best writers around' Sun The story of Cecily Neville, Duchess of York. A woman who claimed the throne for her family in a time of war... 'A terrific storyteller' Daily Telegraph One family united by blood. Torn apart by war... England, 1459: Cecily, Duchess of York, is embroiled in a plot 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. Cecily can only watch as her lands are torn apart and divided up by the ruthless Queen Marguerite. From the towers of her prison 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 of England. This is a story of heartbreak, ambition and treachery, of one woman's quest to claim the throne during the violence and tragedy of the Wars of the Roses.]]> Thu, 01 Oct 2020 17:21:08 +0300 https://anthologies.library.land/anne-obrien/125761-the_kings_concubine_a_novel_of_alice_perrers.html https://anthologies.library.land/anne-obrien/125761-the_kings_concubine_a_novel_of_alice_perrers.html
