The bestselling author of A Rose for the Crown and Daughter of York takes a young woman that history noticed only once and sets her on a quest for the truth about the murder of two boys and a man who claims to be king. 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, the younger of the boys, and seeking to claim his rightful throne from England's first Tudor king, Henry VII. But is this man who he says he is? Or is he Perkin Warbeck, a puppet of Margaret of York, duchess of Burgundy, who is determined to regain the crown for her York family? Grace Plantagenet finds herself in the midst of one of English history's greatest mysteries. If she can discover the fate of the princes and the true identity of Perkin Warbeck, perhaps she will find her own place in her family.… (mer)

Historical Fiction
  BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |
A really good story about 4 of the illegitimate children of Edward IV, focusing on Grace Plantagenet. The story centered on one of the "pretenders" to the throne, the youngest prince in the tower (Richard, aka Dickie). Perkin Warbeck is a real historical personage, which made this a very good historical fiction read. I've read a lot about the Plantagenets, but this one was exceptionally good. 610 pages ( )

I ended up giving this book only 4 stars only because as much as I wanted to I could not come to like the main character Grace until nearly the end of the book. Grace is the bastard daughter of King Edward IV and she was a real person. Nothing is known about her in history other then she accompanied Edward's wife, Elizabeth's coffin, at her funeral. With that, you could literally right whatever you want about her life because there is nothing to contradict her. The story was well told, but Grace came off with an air about her that I just couldn't get around. All in all - I enjoyed the book. ( )

In the questions for discussion she asks Why Elizabeth Woodville agrees to the marriage of Bess & Henry if she is such a loyal Yorkist. Anne Easter Smith seems to have forgotten that Elizabeth's first husband died fighting for the Lancaster side. Elizabeth was on the side that would benefit her the most. ( )
