The Plantagenet Embers series by Samantha Wilcoxson tells the history of the Wars of the Roses and early Tudor era through unique voices, those of women and others typically dismissed as secondary characters.
See how Elizabeth of York helped bring peace through quiet strength, even as she lived her life wondering what had really happened to her brothers, the Princes in the Tower.
Through the eyes of Margaret Pole, the reign of Henry VIII was about more than a series of wives, though it does involve another York son lost to the Tower.
By considering the first Tudor queen’s point of view, you may stop thinking of her as Bloody Mary.
These stirring tales challenge readers to take a broader look at events of the era. Companion novellas include stories of a young Margaret Beaufort, disillusioned Elizabeth Woodville, and grief-stricken Reginald Pole to give richer depth to the main novels in this series.
