  <default_description>The bestselling author of &lt;I&gt;A Rose for the Crown&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;I&gt;Daughter of York&lt;/i&gt; takes a young woman that history noticed only once and sets her on a quest for the truth about the murder of two boys and a man who claims to be king.

All that history knows of Grace Plantagenet is that she was an illegitimate daughter of Edward IV and one of two attendants aboard the funeral barge of his widowed queen. Thus, she was half sister of the famous young princes, who&amp;#8212;when this story begins in 1485&amp;#8212;had been housed in the Tower by their uncle, Richard III, and are presumed dead.

But in the 1490s, a young man appears at the courts of Europe claiming to be Richard, duke of York, the younger of the boys, and seeking to claim his rightful throne from England's first Tudor king, Henry VII. But is this man who he says he is? Or is he Perkin Warbeck, a puppet of Margaret of York, duchess of Burgundy, who is determined to regain the crown for her York family? Grace Plantagenet finds herself in the midst of one of English history's greatest mysteries. If she can discover the fate of the princes and the true identity of Perkin Warbeck, perhaps she will find her own place in her family.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I like reading British history, especially around the war of the Roses and Tudor times. This book gave a background to minor characters, but it tied well with more known figures in history. I like Anne Easter Smith's first book so I want to read more what she writes. My only criticism is that she re...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57167386">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A wonderful story about a minor character in the final years of the York monarchy and the beginnings of the Tudors. This really helped clarify the actual historical events for me--the mystery of the princes in the Tower, the succession to the monarchy of Henry VII and his cruelty and paranoia regard...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58848438">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A very good read.  My husband commented to me one evening, &quot;You are devouring that book&quot;.  And so I was.  It kept me intrigued at every turn and you wondered what Grace was going to do next.  My only issue was that Margaret's actions seemed to be a disconnect from the Margaret we were pres...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62576584">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[After reading over 150 pages, I can understand the critics who have written reviews previously.  It was slow moving and absolutely boring in the place I left off. After reading books of this historical genre by Philippa Gregory, I could read no more of this one.  There is NO comparision.

    <body><![CDATA[  I gave this one 100 pages but just couldn't get interested.  Too many characters, even being familiar with many of them didn't help me keep them straight.  And if the author used the word &quot;certes&quot; one more time, I was going to scream!]]></body>
