A Sunday Times Bestseller England’s Forgotten Queens

‘O’Brien cleverly intertwines the personal and political in this enjoyable, gripping tale.’
-The Times

'I was a penniless, landless petitioner, my Neville blood a curse, my future dependent on the charity of those who despised me…’

Anne Neville is the heiress and daughter of the greatest powerbroker in the land, Warwick the Kingmaker. Trapped in a deadly tangle of political intrigue, she is a pawn in an uncertain game, used by the houses of Neville, York and Lancaster alike.

In England’s glittering, treacherous court, not all wish to see the Nevilles raised high. The Earl of Warwick’s ambition and pride lead him into an attempt to depose the Yorkist King; his treason forces his family into exile.

Humiliated and powerless in a foreign land, Anne must find the courage and the wit to survive in such a dangerous man’s world.

Compulsively readable, Anne O’Brien vividly evokes the story of Richard III’s queen with a passion and vibrancy reminiscent of Phillipa Gregory and Alison Weir.

This narrator mispronounced so many words that she quite spoiled the story for me. Interesting story though.

I enjoyed the story from Anne Neville's point of view having read extensively about this period of English history.
The reader, however, was less than expert making many rather ignorant mispronunciations and often making strange pauses in the wrong places.
The rating reflects my reasonable enjoyment of the story but irritation with the level of reading.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

The story is not as good in my opinion as the king makers daughter by Phillipa Gregory but it is still good.

not bad
