11 Must-Read Book Series If You Love Game of Thrones

There's no magic in The White Queen, but this retelling of the Wars of the Roses more than makes up for its lack of dragons with its shocking political machinations. The action on King's Landing seems almost tame compared to the cutthroat battle for the throne of England.

Philippa Gregory brings the story of Elizabeth Woodville to life with a mix of sweeping court intrigue and complex women waging war on the homefront as the men take their grievances to the battlefield. Best of all, if you love Elizabeth's story, this is just the beginning of the Cousin's War series.
