A Secret Alchemy

A Secret Alchemy

A Secret Alchemy

14th April 2015 by Emma Darwin

Two murdered princes; a powerful queen betrayed; a nobleman riding towards his certain death… The story of the Princes in the Tower has been one of the most fascinating – and most brutal – murder mysteries in history for more than five hundred years.
In a brilliant feat of historical daring, Emma Darwin has recreated the terrible, exhilarating world of the Wars of the Roses: the power struggles and passion that lay behind the princes’ birth, the danger into which they fell, and the ultimate betrayal of their innocence.
In A Secret Alchemy three voices speak: Elizabeth Woodville, the beautiful widow of King Edward IV; her brother Anthony, surrogate father to the doomed princes; and present-day historian Una Pryor, whose experience of betrayal and lost love helps her unlock the mystery of the princes’ death.
