Synopsis:
A sweeping historical saga of lust, conspiracy and betrayal set in 15th century England. 1450. The high Middle Ages, and a baby is born in the deep forest of western England. Powerful forces plot to kill both mother and child, but somehow the newborn girl survives... 1465. England has a charismatic new king, Edward IV, as the country wakes from the nightmare of the War of the Roses into the dawn of a fragile but hopeful peace. When Anne, a young peasant girl of fifteen, joins the household of a wealthy London merchant, her unusual beauty soon provokes jealousy, lust and intrigue. But Anne has one special quality that sets her apart: her knowledge of herbs and healing. News of Anne's remarkable skills spreads, and she is called to save the life of a queen in her difficult childbirth. Anne is loved for her rare gifts. It is here that Anne finds her destiny, and the two who will become the great love of her life - the king. The meeting between them will change both their lives, for out of such an uncertain time in England's history, emerges the true story of this shy servant girl, whose power extends far beyond her healing hands.
