|genre=Historical Fiction
|summary=Anne O’Brien plunges us into the Wars of the Roses and the romantic affairs of Anne Neville, daughter of the famous Earl of Warwick, the Kingmaker. A superb heroine, the teenage Anne is vividly drawn, as are her suitors Richard, Duke of Gloucester, and Edward of Lancaster, and his domineering mother Margaret of Anjou. Anne O'Brien was kind enough to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Anne O'Brien|answer some questions for us]].

Further reading suggestion: For a non-fiction look at some of the women of this period we can recommend [[The Kingmaker's Sisters: Six Powerful Women in the Wars of the Roses by David Baldwin]]. For other great historical fiction set at around this time, the hilarious [[Kings of Albion by Julian Rathbone]] is highly recommended.
