Royal Witches
'An important and timely book.' - Philippa Gregory Joan of Navarre was the richest woman in the land, at a time when war-torn England was penniless. Eleanor Cobham was the wife of a weak king's uncle – and her husband was about to fall from grace. Jacquetta Woodville was a personal enemy of Warwick the Kingmaker, who was about to take his revenge. Elizabeth Woodville was the widowed mother of a child king, fighting Richard III for her children's lives. In Royal Witches, Gemma Hollman explores the lives of these four unique women, looking at how rumours of witchcraft brought them to their knees in a time when superstition and suspicion was rife.

History paints her as a low–born, unattractive, grasping and greedy woman who used her position of power with King Edward purely for her own ends. This stunning novel rewrites perceptions and brings us Alice Perrers as you've never seen her before! Taken from the gutter by the Queen of England and given a role much above her station, Alice can ignore the jealous whispers if it means she's one step closer...to becoming somebody. A woman of history. Like no other woman of the court, confident, bold and forthright, the infamous Alice Perrers soon finds herself in the path of the King himself. But is she driven by power, politics or love? Her enemies want her banished. The King wants her as his mistress. Alice is on the road to infamy and there's no turning back.
