In 1485-1487, England teeters on the edge of chaos. Eliza, a radiant Yorkist heiress, navigates a treacherous world as Richard III’s throne crumbles and Henry Tudor rises. Caught between duty and hope, her marriage to Henry promises peace but stirs unease. Margaret Beaufort, Henry’s cunning mother, orchestrates a new dynasty, while Elizabeth, the Dowager Queen, mourns her lost sons. Young Maggie, a Yorkist princess, clings to her brother’s fading legacy. As Bosworth’s bloodshed gives way to Prince Arthur’s birth and a pretender’s rebellion, these women balance love, loss, and power. Set to haunting harpsichord and viol, Thorns of Ambition explores the cost of a crown and the strength to endure its weight.
