From Little Stack
This is the story of the Wars of the Roses through the eyes of the women who fought from the shadows. It was a brutal time. A time where power is won by blood and playing the game well is the difference between life and death. A cutthroat and ruthless time when your best friend today could be your enemy tomorrow and women were often forgotten and discounted and had to use the voices of men to be heard.
Feisty and intelligent, Cecily is a force to be reckoned with and I loved seeing the Wars of the Roses from her perspective. A must-read for anyone who enjoys retellings.
AN EPIC FEMINIST RETELLING OF THE WAR OF THE ROSES
1431 is a dangerous time for a woman to be defiant. England has been fighting France for 100 years. At home, power-hungry men within a corrupt government manipulate a weak king - and name Cecily's husband, York's loyal duke, an enemy. As the king's grasp on sanity weakens, plots to destroy York take root... It will take all of Cecily's courage and cunning to save her family. But when the will to survive becomes ambition for a crown, will she risk treason to secure it?
Inside closed bedchambers and upon bloody battlefields, Cecily portrays war as women fight it.
