England, 1464. War over the rightful heir to the English throne has ravaged England. When Edward IV falls in love with a beautiful Lancastrian commoner, Elizabeth Woodville, a violent, high-stakes struggle ensues.
Uniquely told through the perspectives of Elizabeth Woodville, her fiercest adversary Margaret Beaufort and political pawn Anne Neville, the story focuses on three tenacious women and their respective quests for power.
