When her father aligns himself with Margaret Anjou to place her son Edward of Westminster on the English throne, Anne is married to Edward and becomes a contender for the title of Queen of England. She supports her father's ambitions even if it's departmental to her happiness or her loyalty to the house of York. Despite her youth, she learns considerably from her father in the art of statecraft and is observant of her father's attempts to regain his waning influence over Edward IV after his marriage to Elizabeth Woodville. She is the second born daughter of "The Kingmaker" Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick and the sister of Isabel Neville. She is featured in The White Queen and The Red Queen and is the protagonist of The Kingmaker's Daughter. Anne Neville is one of the main characters of the Cousin's War series.

Her only solace is a hidden prisoner who appears all but forgotten by his guards. Genevieve has been undercover for so many years, she struggles to remember who she is or what she’s supposed to be fighting for. Their one ray of hope is Sybella’s fellow novitiates, disguised and hidden deep in the French court years ago by the convent-provided Sybella can find them.

In December 1926, Agatha Christie goes missing. The New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Only Woman in the Room returns with a thrilling reconstruction of one of the most notorious events in literary history: Agatha Christie's mysterious 11-day disappearance in 1926.
