Elizabeth the Beloved

Born into a family apparently destined to rule, Elizabeth Plantagenet's life is shaped by three kings.

Edward IV, her father, whose lechery leaves his family destitute.

Richard III, her uncle, whose kindness turns into something more as Elizabeth grows.

Henry VII, her husband, whose motives for marriage are perhaps more political than passionate.

As the houses of Lancaster and York continue to vie for power, and with loyalties crumbling as quickly as new alliances are forged, Elizabeth finds herself a valuable pawn in a political game that she simply cannot control.

As the machinations of those around her cause havoc, Elizabeth finds herself thrown from royal luxury to utter penury, and can only watch as those she loves most are destroyed.

What can she, a penniless and vulnerable girl, do to save them — and herself?

For despite her royal background, her quick mind and good looks, Elizabeth seems to wield no power over her own — or her family's — destiny.

The answer seems to lie in a dynastic marriage to the new Tudor King, Henry VII. But even though she goes into marriage with her eyes wide open, can Elizabeth ever hope to build the calm and stable life she craves?

As Henry's place is threatened by plotters and pretenders, Elizabeth must watch as battles rage, prisoners are taken and enemies executed. In a life blessed with love but tainted by tragedy, can she protect her husband, her children and her wider family from the dangers that besiege them?
