“The Maker of Kings” is the second in Simone Vilar’s exciting novel cycle about the fate of Anne Neville, the English princess, a historically real person from the 15th century. Conspiracies and battles, secret intrigues and a thirst for power, the clash of knightly honor and an irresistible passion—all these events unfold against the backdrop of a national tragedy that the Wars of the Roses brought upon England.
