Married to a man twice her age, quickly widowed, and a mother at only fourteen, Margaret is determined to turn her lonely life into a triumph. She sets her heart on putting her son on the throne of England regardless of the cost to herself, to England, and even to the little boy. Disregarding rival heirs and the overwhelming power of the York dynasty, she names him Henry, like the king; sends him into exile; and pledges him in marriage to her enemy Elizabeth of York's daughter. As the political tides constantly move and shift, Margaret masterminds one of the greatest rebellions of all time--all the while knowing that her son has grown to manhood, recruited an army, and awaits his opportunity to win the greatest prize in all of England. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Red Queen \u003c\/i\u003eis a novel of conspiracy, passion, and coldhearted ambition, the story of a proud and determined woman who believes that she alone is destined, by her piety and lineage, to shape the course of history.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilippa Gregory is the author of many\u003ci\u003e New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling novels, including\u003ci\u003e The Other Boleyn Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, and is a recognized authority on women's history.
