In the Wars of the Roses two remarkable women cunningly work the strings of succession...

Young, beautiful and French, Margaret of Anjou is hated when she marries England's ill-fated Henry VI. But when her husband goes mad and civil war erupts - pitting family against family and throwing the country into turmoil - Margaret must become a warrior queen, fighting for her husband's right to be king and her son's place as his heir.

Meanwhile heiress Margaret Beaufort is born into a troubled inheritance. Fiercely sought after by courtiers who want to be her guardian, or join with her by marriage, she is a pawn in a political game. Aged thirteen, she has married twice and birthed a son: the future King of England. But when he is ripped from her arms, her fight really begins.

Succession begins the intense and powerful story of the women who gave birth to the Tudor dynasty...
