The Red Queen is a novel of conspiracy, passion, and cold hearted ambition, the story of a proud and determined woman who believes that she alone is destined, by her piety and lineage, to shape the course of history.
The inspiration for the critically acclaimed miniseries The White Queen, Philippa Gregory brings to life Margaret Beaufort, heiress to the red rose of Lancaster, who charts her way through treacherous alliances to take control of the English throne. (The Cousins War 2).
