In The Favored Child, she is at the height of her storytelling abilities, weaving a spellbinding tale of evil, obsession, madness and sensuality that will leave readers gasping--and waiting with bated breath for the third and final book in the Wideacre trilogy. \nFrom #1 New York Times bestselling author and queen of royal fiction (USA TODAY) Philippa Gregory comes the thrilling sequel to the New York Times bestseller Wideacre as the once-great Lacey estate is restored to its former grandeur--though not without cost. \nThe Wideacre estate is bankrupt.

Only one can be Beatrice Lacey's true heir.
