About this audiobook
Desperate to protect her godson, Elysabeth battles the intrigue, betrayal and power of the last medieval court, defying her Yorkist husband and her Lancastrian sister under her godmother's sacred oath to keep Prince Edward safe. Bound by blood and rent by honor, Elysabeth is torn between the crown and her family, knowing that if her loyalty is questioned, she is in peril of losing everything-including her life.
Were the princes murdered by their uncle, Richard III? Did Margaret Beaufort mastermind their disappearance to usher in the Tudor dynasty? Or did the young boys vanish for their own safety? Of anyone at the royal court, Elysabeth has the most to lose-and the most to gain-by keeping secret the fate of the Princes in the Tower.
