Opis: Innocent - Posie Graeme-Evans, Graeme-Evans

The story begins in 1450, when civil unrest sweeps England and the struggle for the crown is at its peak. Deep in a western forest, a baby is born. Powerful forces plot to kill both mother and child, but somehow the newborn girl survives. Her name is Anne. Fifteen years later, England has a charismatic young king, Edward IV, and the country has begun to wake from the nightmare of the War of the Roses. When Anne is brought to London to be a servant in the household of a wealthy merchant, her unusual beauty soon provokes jealousy, lust and intrigue. But Anne has one special quality that saves her: her knowledge of herbs and healing. News of her remarkable gift spreads and she is brought to save the life of Edward's ailing queen. And so Anne comes to live in the royal palace, and it is here she finds her destiny: to be loved by the king himself. 'This racy tale comes alive with its colourful and often sumptuous descriptions and intriguing plot ... I can't wait for the next one.' -- Australian Women's Weekly on THE INNOCENT 'Historical fiction gallops to new heights in this debut tale of intrigue, lust and betrayal.' -- Woman's Own on THE INNOCENT 'Court intrigue, forbidden love, bags of incident and a glorious package, the first in a trilogy. Obvious comparisons are made to Philippa Gregory but it is younger and a great deal sexier. I loved it.' -- The Bookseller on THE INNOCENT 'The reader is taken on a galloping ride through the Middle Ages and the shaky reign of Edward IV, the love of Anne's life. There's lust, conspiracy and impressive historical detail to set the scene.' -- Daily Telegraph, Sydney on THE INNOCENT
