FROM THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF CECILY

1461. Through blood and battle Edward has gained England’s throne – king by right and conquest – eighteen years old and unstoppable. Cecily has piloted his rise to power and stands at his shoulder now, first to claim the title King’s Mother.

But to win a throne is not to keep it and war is come again. As brother betrays brother, and trusted cousins turn treacherous, other mothers rise up to fight for other sons. Cecily must focus her will to defeat every challenge. Wherever they come from. Whatever the cost.

For there can be only one King, and only one King’s Mother.

From the Wars of the Roses to the dawn of the Tudor age, this is a story of mothers and sons; of maternal ferocity and female ambition - of all they can build and all they can destroy.

Fantastic sequel to Cecily: writing is succinct and stylish and effortlessly encompasses incredible amounts of complex history while creating believable and compelling characters.
Cecily is exquisitely complicated, not always nice, but my heart went out to her.
Perfectly paced, building tension and twists that still managed to have me biting my nails even though I knew what was coming.
Narration was also spot on.

Superb. Wonderful writing, full of character and tension, effortlessly sneaks in so much historical detail.

I absolutely love history. I study royals as a hobby. I also love historic fiction and I am not one of these who whinge when something small isn’t right. So I can truly just fall in love with the characters as if they’re just that. I loved the narrator chosen, as sometimes an annoying voice can put me off a good audiobook!

This was incredible! I listened to 24 chapters in a day! I screenshot it and posted a review on my own fb then as I had NEVER done that. Download it. It’s worth it!

Thank you Annie Garthwaite!
