Product Description:
In this groundbreaking novel, award-winning author Sandra Worth vibrantly brings to life the peoples Queen, Elizabeth the Good.
Seventeen-year-old Elizabeth of York trusts that her beloved fathers dying wish has left England in the hands of a just and deserving ruler. But upon the rise of Richard of Gloucester, Elizabeths family experiences one devastation after another: her late father is exposed as a bigamist, she and her siblings are branded bastards, and her brothers are taken into the new kings custody, then reportedly killed.
But one fateful night leads Elizabeth to question her prejudices. Through the eyes of Richards ailing queen she sees a man worthy of respect and undying adoration. His dedication to his people inspires a forbidden love and ultimately gives her the courage to accept her destiny, marry Henry Tudor, and become Queen. While her soul may secretly belong to another, her heart belongs to England

After reading the spectacular The Sunne in Spendour by Sharon Kay Penman, I became quite fascinated with Richard III and the medieval court life. I picked up The King's Daughter seeing that it focused on Richard's niece and the end of Edward IV's and Richard III's reign.

Unlike her previous book, THE KING'S DAUGHTER is a bit dark as life for the eldest daughter of King Edward IV, Elizabeth, is a dismal one. Even so, I found the story engrossing.
Elizabeth's story begins 1470 where she spent happy times with her father. Life between her mother and father were turbulent as was her own relationship with her mother. Instead of warmth, her mother ... Read More
