Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The second book in Philippa Gregory's stunning new trilogy brings to life the story of Margaret Beaufort, a shadowy and mysterious character from The White Queen who now takes center stage in the bitter struggle of The War of the Roses. Widowed in her teens, the child-bride of Edmund Tudor uses wily plotting to infiltrate the house of York under the guise of loyal friend and servant and ensure that her only son, Henry Tudor, triumphs as King of England.
Married to a man twice her age, quickly widowed, and a mother at only fourteen, Margaret Beaufort is determined to turn her lonely life into a triumph. She sets her heart on putting her son on the throne of England regardless of the cost to herself, England, and even her son. Disregarding rival heirs and the overwhelming power of the York dynasty, she names him Henry, like the king; sends him into exile; and pledges him in marriage to her enemy Elizabeth of York's daughter. As the political tides constantly move and shift, Margaret charts her own way through another loveless marriage, treacherous alliances and secret plots, always with her ultimate goal before her.
