Before the time of King Henry 8th and Queen Elizabeth 1st, times were much simpler back then. In the year of 1455, the biggest war in history raged through England and would be known as the War of the Roses. This was also a strained period of one particular young girl's life, which would change her world as she knew it. Her name was Lady Rosalie Catherine Howard, the daughter of Thomas Howard, the Duke of Norfolk.
During the war, Thomas had sided with the Yorks and helped their side win the throne of England. As a result, he promised his only daughter's hand in marriage to the eldest York brother, who would now be King of England, Edward IV. Little did anyone know, these two star-crossed lovers were meant to be together and they would be the ones to bring peace, joy, happiness, harmony, and prosperity to England for years to come.

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 GeneviΓ¨ve 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, GeneviΓ¨ve 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, GeneviΓ¨ve 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 GeneviΓ¨ve 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?
