Summary:

In this New York Times bestseller that inspired the critically acclaimed Starz miniseries The White Queen, Philippa Gregory tells the tale of Anne Neville, a lovely young woman who must navigate the treachery of the British court as her father, known as the Kingmaker, uses her and her sister as pawns in his political video game.

The Kingmaker’s Daughter-Philippa Gregory’s first sister story because the Other Boleyn Girl-is the gripping tale of the daughters of the man referred to as the Kingmaker, about The Kingmaker’s Daughter Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick: the most effective magnate in fifteenth-century Britain. Without a kid and heir, he uses his daughters, Anne and Isabel, as pawns in his political games, and they grow up to become influential players in their own right.

At the court of Edward IV and his beautiful queen, Elizabeth Woodville, Anne grows from a delightful child to become ever more fearful and desperate when her father makes war on his former friends. Married at age fourteen, she is soon left widowed and fatherless, her mother in sanctuary and her sister wedded to the enemy. Anne manages her very own escape by marrying Richard, Duke of Gloucester, but her choice will collection her on the collision course with the overpowering power of the royal family.
