Sinopse

One of the most talented historical fiction writers today.

Philippa Gregory revisits the Wars of the Roses, which pitted the House of York, symbolized by the white rose, against the House of Lancaster, symbolized by the red rose. A conflict that pitted brother against brother in a game of murder, betrayal, and vileness.

Elizabeth Woodville, the daughter of a noble country family, finds herself destitute when her husband is killed on the battlefield. With two young children, she decides to turn to the young king to reclaim her estates, which had been usurped by her husband's family. However, after attracting the monarch's attention, the two fall in love and marry in secret, and Elizabeth ascends to royalty. Danger, death, and treachery become constant in her life.

The plot gains drama as the Queen of the House of York struggles to protect her youngest sons, heirs to the English throne. But after her husband is murdered, nothing prevents them from being kidnapped by their uncle, Richard III, and locked in the Tower of London. This transforms them into one of history's most intriguing mysteries: the princes' disappearance remains an event that has baffled researchers for centuries.

The White Queen is the first book in a series that addresses a bloody period in English history: The War of the Two Roses.
