Jacquetta of Luxembourg enters a life of wealth and influence through her marriage to the Duke of Bedford, but the future she imagines changes when she follows her heart into a very different union with Richard Woodville. As war and political rivalry reshape England, she becomes a trusted figure at the court of Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou, observing the fragile foundations beneath royal authority. Her growing family and her loyalty to the queen draw her into events whose consequences will reach the next generation. Philippa Gregory combines historical figures with imaginative storytelling and an atmosphere of inherited mystery, tracing the life of the woman who would become Elizabeth Woodville’s mother. Love, calculation and uncertain allegiance shape this story of survival before and during the Wars of the Roses.
