With this book, Gregory introduced me to the Cousin's War. It begins in the middle of the 15th century where a civil war between cousin's fight each other for the crown. The northerners being the Yorkists (White rose)and the Lancastrians (Red rose).
Every time I open one of her books, I feel as if I'm in another time and place. It's like I'm reading a beautiful diary through chronological events. As the story progresses with the character, you too feel the changes they encounter.
Gregory begins with her as a slightly vulnerable widow and after marrying the handsome Edward, she's a woman of influence, power, and most importantly a mother to the princes in the tower.
Enjoy this book. Gregory does not disappoint for imagery, historical accuracy, and romance!
