“Worth vividly brings one of England's lesser-known queens to life in this luminous portrait of “Elizabeth the Good,” wife of Henry VII and mother of the notorious Henry VIII. . .  Woven into Elizabeth's story are the shrewish machinations of her mother and Margaret Beaufort, Henry's mother, as well as the mysterious fates of her brothers, Edward V and Richard of York, the princes who disappeared in the Tower of London. Worth (Lady of the Roses) examines Elizabeth's life with a journalist's eye, an impressive feat given that her subject left little behind for study.”
~~  Publishers Weekly


“Worth's authentically detailed portrait of Elizabeth of York -- the daughter, niece, wife and mother of kings -- whose marriage to Henry VII ended the War of the Roses, displays the author's passion for the period and her adoration of her characters. She turns what might be an ordinary fictionalized biography into a banquet of simply luscious and delicious history.”

“Worth paints a sumptuously detailed picture of royal life in the late 1400s and early 1500s. You can almost feel the brocade and see the gems glitter. And she brings to life a most sympathetic queen who came to be known as Elizabeth the Good in a book that whets the appetite for history.”
~~  Donna Cruze, Books - Paige Turner
The Knoxville News-Sentinel


“Meticulously researched, exquisitely written, here is a rich, magnificent novel of the Tudor court evoking a once forgotten queen, now impossible to forget.”
~~  Michelle Moran, author of the national bestseller,
Nefertiti: A Novel


“gripping, dramatic . . .  an evocative tapestry of the time . . .  Bewitched from the beginning, I was a captive reader until the last page. This book is an Elizabethan page-turner that offers realistic melodrama, intrigue and suspense, plotting and murder, and love and hate from fifteenth century European history.”

“The lush details and clear narrative voice of Elizabeth create a tale that draws the reader into a time long past. It‚s a tribute to the author that she still made me cry at the death of Arthur despite knowing the historical facts of the time period. That’s the trademark of a good author, one who can still make you feel emotions even when you know what is to come. Sandra Worth provides a very solid case for her perspectives on the various historical figures [and] . . .  the context is certainly fitting for how the events played out.”

“THE KING'S DAUGHTER easily garners a Top Pick award from this reviewer and historical fiction buff, and I heartily recommend it.” ~~Nancy Davis,  Romance Reader At Heart


“This book grabbed me from the start and didn’t let go until the very last page of the author’s notes. It’s a thoroughly engaging and entertaining read. . . .  full of interesting facts woven into a stirring historical story. . .  Another interesting story line has to do with Elizabeth’s brother, Dickon. I’d read mention before of “The Pretender” but this is the first book I’ve read that’s gone into the detail that Ms. Worth does. If you’re a fan of historical fiction use those Christmas gift cards and buy this one.”
