Royal Witch By Philippa Gregory

1420: Eleanor Cobham arrives at the court of Henry V. Pretty but not highborn, she hopes for nothing more than to marry well.

It is a golden age for England, its royal family's dynasty stretching across Europe. But ancient rivalries and restless ambition mean chaos waits in the shadows.

Working in the household of a countess who commands her own army, Eleanor begins to see what a woman is capable of . . . and what men's promises are truly worth.

For the first time, she dares to dream of rising further. Perhaps further than any woman before. And for that she will need to turn to darker arts . . .

They say she summoned the devil himself.

They say she plotted to murder a king.

This is the tale of the woman they called witch. Who would have called herself queen.
