London 1527. Set in the nerve-jangled court of Henry VIII during his battle with the Catholic church for a divorce, THE QUEEN’S LADY is the story of Honor Larke, a ward of King Henry’s chancellor, Sir Thomas More, and a lady-in-waiting to Henry’s first wife, Queen Catherine of Aragon. Forced to take sides in the religious extremism of the day, Honor fights to save the church’s victims from death at the stake, enlisting Richard Thornleigh, a rogue sea captain, in her missions of mercy, and finally risking her life to try to save Sir Thomas from the wrath of the king.

ReplyDeleteI like this one!
ReplyDeleteThis is such exciting news! I am not only a huge fan of historical fiction but i also love this era, and are a member of 'OnTheTudorTrail'. I love 'The Queen's Lady' cover which is beautiful, as well as the blurb which sounds facinating. I am adding this to my to-read list without hesitation, and hope that at some point i will have chance to read it. Thank you for this post.x
ReplyDeleteLead me not into temptation. Having promised myself not to start reading any books that form a series I find myself wavering when I read posts such as this. Still, it wouldn't do any harm to take a sneaky look, would it?
