Description
In 1461, as Edward’s claim to the throne hardens into rule, Cecily stands at his side—no longer merely a power behind the crown, but the one destined to be called the King’s Mother. Yet the Wars of the Roses do not end with victory: betrayal spreads through bloodlines, alliances fracture, and rival mothers rise to defend their own sons. With war returning and loyalty tested at every turn, Cecily must marshal her will, strategy, and maternal ferocity to survive a court where love and ambition are equally dangerous. Blending intimate character focus with sweeping historical momentum, this gripping novel explores the fierce politics of family, the cost of power, and the women who shape history from the margins—written in Annie Garthwaite’s elegant, propulsive style.
