What’s inside the set — individual book highlights

The Queen’s Rival
The Wars of the Roses rage across England as Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, plots to overturn the weak-minded King Henry VI. After the Yorkists falter at Ludford Bridge, Cecily is left to face a Lancastrian force alone, stripped of lands and imprisoned in Tonbridge Castle. Her survival depends on guile and a carefully spun web of deceit — a chain of events that leads to treason and, eventually, the crowning of her son as King Edward IV. This novel is a gripping study of power, maternal ambition, and the price of political ruthlessness.

A Tapestry of Treason
Set in 1399, this installment centers on Constance of York, Lady Despenser, as she navigates the dangerous intrigues of the House of York. Surrounded by self-interested men — her husband Thomas and her siblings Edward and Richard — Constance becomes entangled in conspiracies that could restore Richard II or elevate a Mortimer claimant. Readers who enjoy complex family dynamics and strategic plotting will appreciate how Anne O’Brien brings Plantagenet politics vividly to life.

Queen of the North
Also set in 1399, Queen of the North follows Elizabeth Mortimer’s fierce determination to secure the throne for her young nephew, Edmund. With Henry of Lancaster returning and Richard II’s grip loosening, Elizabeth must protect northern lands and her family’s future — even as those closest to her resist another child-king. This novel highlights loyalty, regional power struggles, and the human stories behind historical turning points.
