Publisher's summary
History tells us that the intelligent, wealthy, and powerful Margaret of York had everything any woman could want, except for love. The acclaimed author of A Rose for the Crown takes us between the lines of history and into her heart.
It is 1461. Edward, son of Richard of York, ascends to the throne, and his willful sister, Margaret, immediately becomes a pawn in European politics as Edward negotiates her marriage. The young Margaret falls deeply in love with Anthony Woodville, the married brother of Edward's queen, Elizabeth. But Edward has arranged for his sister to wed Charles, son of the Duke of Burgundy, and soon Margaret is setting sail for her new life. Her official escort: Anthony Woodville.
Margaret of York eventually commanded the respect and admiration of much of Europe, but it appears to history that she had no emotional intimate. Anne Easter Smith's rare gift for storytelling and her extensive research reveal the love that burned at the center of Margaret's life, adding a new dimension to the story of one of the 15th century's most powerful women.

Story
All that history knows of Grace Plantagenet is that she was an illegitimate daughter of Edward IV and one of two attendants aboard the funeral barge of his widowed queen. Thus, she was half sister of the famous young princes, who, when this story begins in 1485, had been housed in the Tower by their uncle, Richard III, and are presumed dead. But in the 1490s, a young man appears at the courts of Europe claiming to be Richard, duke of York, seeking to claim his rightful throne from England's first Tudor king.

“No one believed I was destined for greatness.” So begins Isabella’s story, in this evocative, vividly imagined novel about one of history’s most famous and controversial queens - the warrior who united a fractured country, the champion of the faith whose reign gave rise to the Inquisition, and the visionary who sent Columbus to discover a new world. Acclaimed author C. W. Gortner envisages the turbulent early years of a woman whose mythic rise to power would go on to transform a monarchy, a nation, and the world.

Great narration!
The best part of this book is the narrator. She was able to so many accents so well in addition to capturing the characters’ personalities. I found the book okay. Good at first but eventually it became somewhat boring and slow and I was eager to be on to the next thing.

incomplete
book ends implying Maragaret and Anthony would finally get together. that was not to be as when Edwatd IV died, Richard in pretense of protecting nephew who was with Anthony returning to London, had Anthony arrested and quickly executed. then nephews disappeared from the tower.
Margaret lived over 20 years after Anthony's execution, always a thorn in the side of Henry VII till her death, not many years before Henry's death.

Good, but slow
Very well researched and written, but very slow going. Don’t expect much action. Rosalyn Landon always gives a great performance.

Very engaging book
The second book in the trilogy is well told, interesting and a good listen but doesn't captivate like the first story. I liked it well enough and am looking forward to the third in the series

Confusing at times
I have read so many of these stories and when I find contradictions in the history I forget which book I’m reading. I love this author but this is not my favorite of her books. It’s worth reading for the setting and some good characters.
