“Filled with the sights, sounds, scents and passions of the era… a sumptuous banquet.”

—Romantic Times on The Exiled

The thrilling climax to the trilogy that began with
The Innocent
and
The Exiled
brings Posie Graeme-Evans's bittersweet story of two lovers divided by the throne of England to its dramatic conclusion. As England tears itself apart in the War of the Roses, Anne de Bohun lives far from the intrigues of cities and courts. Once King Edward IV's mistress, Anne has found safety with their son in Brugge. But now Edward himself is a hunted fugitive, and Anne's real father, King Henry VI, rules again from Westminster. Summoned by an enigmatic message from her lover, Anne is drawn once more to the passion, the excitement, and the deadly danger that Edward brings into her life. But now the girl who was once a penniless servant has a child to protect and an inheritance to defend. Can she let her love for Edward threaten everything she has? Or will she need his help to protect her from the powerful enemy who means to destroy her?

Boasting an extraordinary heroine and intense, intersecting plots,
The Uncrowned Queen
is a dazzling and satisfying finale to Anne de Bohun's incredible story.

PROLOGUE

There were eagles in the sky over London. Sea eagles, a pair of them. They rode the smoky air slowly, spiraling upward on the heat from the early cooking fires—he with her, she above him. The king of birds, the queen of birds.
