THE WHITE QUEEN by Philippa Gregory

This War of the Roses-set historical novel by the queen of Tudor fiction tells the story of the infamous Elizabeth Woodville, who married the King of England in secret for love.  Controversial queen, mother of the lost princes in the Tower, and grandmother of King Henry VIII, Elizabeth’s beauty, passion, wits and sheer ambition drove her to the pinnacle of her fortunes, but later became the engine of her fall.  Philippa Gregory keeps getting better and better!  Interwoven with a thread of water magic and the supernatural, as well as a poignant love story, nail-biting intrigue and high adventure, this may be Gregory’s most exceptional work yet.

And the best news of all?  The sequel, THE RED QUEEN, is being released imminently. :) 

Happy reading!
