~ 𝔗𝔥𝔬𝔰𝔢 𝔴𝔥𝔬'𝔳𝔢 𝔟𝔢𝔢𝔫 𝔪𝔞𝔡𝔢, 𝔠𝔞𝔫 𝔟𝔢 𝔲𝔫𝔪𝔞𝔡𝔢 ~ The year of our Lord 1467, and across the water France is a mere onlooker as England tears itself apart in the bloody cousins war until the Yorkist King Edward seeks allies, resulting in a treaty that aims for peace and promises to end the costly war waged by England against France for over a century. Hatred between the two countries runs deeper than the channel rarely separating them from each others throats but nevertheless the cunning King Louis accepts the pact sealed by the marriage of his eldest daughter, Princess Geneviève of France, to King Edward's youngest brother - Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester. Haughty, vain, almost fanatical in her piety and trained to bear a crown, Geneviève has no love for her English neighbours and favours other candidates for her illustrious hand but nevertheless is thrust into the heart of the Wars of the Roses with few allies and a husband she quickly resents. Trapped in the land of the enemy where knives are readily drawn in the marriage bed, Geneviève must learn to survive using her beauty, wit and political guile to master the game of smoke and mirrors the English and French so love to play. Bound to the tumultuous heart of fifteenth century England, can Geneviève endure against the ever changing tide of the cousin's war and campaigns waged between wilful women with words no less sharp than their men's swords? How far is she willing to go for the power she craves, the position she believes God desires for her? And when rebellion rears its head against her new kin, which way will her loyalties lie and how long will they endure?
