From the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author behind the upcoming Starz original series <i>The White Princess</i>, a gripping new Tudor story featuring King Henry VIII's sisters Mary and Margaret, along with Katherine of Aragon, vividly revealing the pivotal roles the three queens played in Henry VIII's kingdom.<br><br><i>As sisters they share an everlasting bond; As queens they can break each other's hearts.</i><br> <br>When Katherine of Aragon is brought to the Tudor court as a young bride, the oldest princess, Margaret, takes her measure. With one look, each knows the other for a rival, an ally, a pawn, destined - with Margaret's younger sister Mary - to a sisterhood unique in all the world. The three sisters will become the queens of England, Scotland, and France.<br> <br>United by family loyalties and affections, the three queens find themselves set against each other. Katherine commands an army against Margaret and kills her husband James IV of Scotland. But Margaret's boy becomes heir to the Tudor throne when Katherine loses her son. Mary steals the widowed Margaret's proposed husband, but when Mary is widowed it is her secret marriage for love that is the envy of the others. As they experience betrayals, dangers, loss, and passion, the three sisters find that the only constant in their perilous lives is their special bond, more powerful than any man, even a king.

Exciting and heartbreaking

For everyone who has read all books from the historic series of Philippa Gregory, this one puts some needed details to the historic period. It is amazing how much one can learn and understand through the lives of women, who seem to be in the shade of men. The book is inspirational, exciting and sad. One would never even imagine that in mid centuries a woman, a queen, would first marry for love and then get official divorce from the Roman Pope. Betrayal between women was based on loyalty to their husbands. The desires of one of them ruins the life of another. The book is a great read for anyone who is already enchanted by the amazing writing of Gregory. Read more
