Godine 1463. požuda između lankasterske devojke i kralja iz dinastije Jork završava se tajnim venčanjem i novom kraljicom Engleske. Ali dve žene nisu oduševljene time i zavetuju se da će je smaknuti s prestola.

After Elizabeth's coronation, an extravagant display designed to silence critics of their marriage, Edward needs a son to secure his reign. But tensions at court escalate into outright war and Edward must fight those closest to him to retain his crown. Elizabeth faces devastating loss as the full force of Warwick's hatred is revealed.

Ožalošćena Elizabeta smišlja savršen prevrat da vrati kralja Edvarda kući. Ali još opasnosti vreba kad njeni ljubomorni suparnici isplaniraju da okončaju njegovu vladavinu.

Exiled in France, Warwick still plots to control the crown. His youngest daughter Anne is used to make an unexpected alliance, giving him command of a huge army. When Warwick lands in England, Edward must decide whether to fight or run. Terrified, Elizabeth escapes to sanctuary, not knowing if her husband is alive or dead. She gives birth to a longed-for son, but is in fear for her life as Warwick enters London.

Lancaster is restored to the throne, with Warwick in control. But rumours that Edward is returning with an army unsettle the court. Anne and Margaret of Anjou sail from France, uncertain they will reach Warwick in time to win. Divided families face each other across the battlefield. Can Elizabeth's witchcraft save her husband, or will Warwick triumph? As many fall in the battle, everyone's fortunes change forever.

Ana se udaje iz ljubavi, Margaret zbog političke koristi, a kraljica Elizabet dvaput pati od slomljenog srca.

Ana Nevil je u centru pažnje kad paranoja počne da razjeda njenu porodicu. Strah i smrtonosni napitak mogu da učine da svi počnu da padaju kao muve.

Mračni dani su pred kraljem Edvardom dok svi ključni igrači kuju zavere i čak ubijaju ljude da bi došli do toga da ih oslovljavaju sa „njegovo ili njeno veličanstvo“.

Počinje opasna šahovska igra dok Margaret i kraljica Elizabet kuju zaveru protiv treće žene i odlučuju o sudbini prinčeva Edvarda i Ričarda.

Došavši do kraja svog puta, Ana, kraljica Elizabet i Margaret stvaraju novu generaciju koja će varati, manipulisati i zavoditi da bi došla na engleski presto.
