From back cover:
From the author whose debut took the historical fiction category by storm, Daughter of York presents a new theory about one of history's most fascinating heroines. It is 1461: Edward, sone of Richard of York, ascends to the throne and his willful sister, Margaret, immediately becomes a pawn in European politics as Edward negotiates her marriage. The young Margaret falls deeply in love with Anthony Woodville, the married brother of Edward's queen, Elizabeth. But Edward has arranged for his sister to wed Charles, sone of the Duke of Burgundy, and soon Margaret is setting sail for her new life. Her official escort: Anthony Woodville.
Daughter of York follows Margaret from her opulent wedding to her disillusionment with Charles, and her gradual transformation into a powerful political force in her own right. While she commanded the respect and admiration of much of Europe, it appears to history that Margaret had no emotional intimate. Anne Easter Smith's rare gift for storytelling and her extensive research reveals the love that burned at the center of Margaret's life, adding a new dimension to the story of one of the fifteenth century's most powerful women.
