Note from the librarian: This is an alternative cover version.

The Cousins' War, the second novel in Philippa's breathtaking new trilogy, tells the tale of Margaret Beaufort, who was a strange and enigmatic figure in The White Queen, the first book in the series, but who now assumes a central role in the bloody conflict of The War of the Roses.

The Red Queen narrates the tale of Edmund Tudor's child bride, who, despite being widowed at a young age, uses her moral fortitude and cunning strategy to break into the York household pretending to be a devoted friend and servant, sabotage Richard III's support, and eventually guarantee her only son Henry Tudor's coronation as King of England.

By working with the elderly Queen Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret consents to a marriage between Henry and Elizabeth's daughter, bringing the families together and establishing the Tudor dynasty as a permanent solution to the Cousins War.
