Sinopse

The queen of historical romance presents the final book in the series, which explores a bloody period in English history: the Wars of the Roses.

In this final volume of the acclaimed Cousins' Wars series, Philippa Gregory tells the story of Margaret, cousin of the White Princess and daughter of the Duke of Clarence. As a Plantagenet, she is seen as yet another threat to the shaky throne of King Henry VII, so she is promised in marriage to a Lancastrian who faithfully follows Tudor orders. This is the only way to keep the House of Plantagenet from the throne.

Out of loyalty, the king entrusts Sir Richard Pole, Margaret's husband, with the governance of Wales, where he can live a peaceful life with his wife. However, Margaret's life is turned upside down with the arrival of Arthur, the young prince, and his beautiful Spanish wife, Catherine of Aragon, who soon becomes a trusted friend to the couple.

After Prince Arthur's sudden death, Catherine returns to London as a widow to fulfill the promise she made to her dying husband: to marry his brother, Henry VIII, the new heir to the throne. Margaret is soon summoned by the court to be the new queen's lady-in-waiting. But this enchanted world with England's richest and holiest woman is about to come to an end with the rise of Anne Boleyn and the degradation of the Tudor court.

Torn between the old world and the new, Margaret Pole must choose where to place her loyalty: to the increasingly tyrannical king or to her beloved queen; to the religion she loves or to the beliefs her new masters serve. And to find her own path, she must not forget the ancient curse that was cast upon the Tudors.

The King's Curse is the long-awaited conclusion to one of the world's most beloved historical series. A tale of triumphs and tragedies, loyalties and betrayals, families falling from grace, and, most importantly, a strong and courageous woman carving out her place in history.
