LOVE AND WAR

Sandra Worth

THE ROSE OF YORK BOOK I

This tale of love and war, tragedy and ultimate triumph is the prize-winning debut that launched Sandra Worth's career. It claims five of the fifteen awards and prizes she has won.
In a tumultuous era marked by peril and intrigue, reversals of fortune and violent deaths, the passions of a few rule the destiny of England and change the course of history.
This acclaimed trilogy recounts the life of alleged villain Richard III in fifteenth century England. Like Romeo and Juliet, Richard of Gloucester and Lady Anne Neville are bound by love and swept apart by a family feud. When civil war erupts, Anne's father, the Kingmaker, forces her to wed Edward of Lancaster. Edward is slain in battle and the young lovers expect to marry. Instead, they encounter another devastating obstacle that threatens to part them forever.

"The historical detail is marvelous. Worth's depiction of the troubled times, uncertainty of life and the portrayal of historical figures as multidimensional people with good intentions, bad decisions, greed, jealousy, and goodness of heart will leave you wanting the next book immediately." A Romantic Times Top Pick

"An amazing tale of the York dynasty and its fall. It's a different take on the classic tale of Edward IV's court and his brothers, including Richard III, so maligned by history and by Shakespeare. The battle scenes are particularly great and rich in detail."

"Worth presents these historical figures in a compelling and believable manner. The action flows quickly and keeps your attention...will keep you entranced until the very end." - Romantic Fiction: 5 stars
