The thrilling climax to the Anne trilogy: the world of Philippa Gregory’s White Queen is seen from the point of view of her greatest rival.
As England tears itself apart in the War of the Roses, Anne de Bohun lives far from the intrigues of cities and courts.

Can she let her love for Edward threaten everything she has? Or will she need his help to protect her from the powerful enemy who means to destroy her?

The sequel to THE INNOCENT and every bit as good, with its richly detailed settings, intrigue, adventure and sizzling love affair between King Edward and Lady Anne.
Historical fiction gallops to new heights in this debut tale of intrigue, lust and betrayal.
The reader is taken on a galloping ride through the Middle Ages and the shaky reign of Edward IV, the love of Anne's life. There's lust, conspiracy and impressive historical detail to set the scene.
Posie Graeme-Evans' masterful prose brings vividly to life the colours, sounds, smells and sights of a romantic and thrilling period in history.
