The Tudor Heritage
From “an outstanding storyteller,” a historical novel inspired by the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth I (Woman’s Weekly). It is 1559, and Elizabeth Tudor has just succeeded to the throne of England. Beside her are the family who will share the momentous triumphs and setbacks of her reign: the Allgraves. As the Spanish Armada descends upon the country and Mary Stuart lays claim to the English crown, together Elizabeth and the Allgraves will create the Tudor Heritage—a nation whose power was to be feared and respected for centuries to come. Will the queen’s determination not to marry sabotage her family’s monarchical legacy? And will the Allgraves survive the perilous trials of the Tudor Court? A tale of kinship, loyalty, heroism and reward. Told with Lynda Andrews’ trademark vibrant storytelling panache, The Tudor Heritage will appeal to readers of Phillipa Gregory, Emily Purdy and Anne O’Brien.

Anne of Holstein is perhaps the least-known Queen Consort in Britain’s history. But her marriage to James I saw her become key to the legacy of the Stuarts.

When Queen Elizabeth I died, Jam...
The White Lion of Norfolk
From “an outstanding storyteller,” a historical novel about the duke of Norfolk, who courted the favor of King Henry VIII in his quest for power (Woman’s Weekly). The White Lion of Norfolk is the story of Thomas Howard, Third Duke of Norfolk: a ruthless, unscrupulous man willing even to use his two nieces, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, as pawns to curry political favour. Amidst the pomp and pageantry of the Royal Court, Howard climbs the greasy pole of ambition, remaining totally subservient to his master, King Henry VIII. His devotion places him at odds with his wife, the daughter of the Duke of Buckingham, who was put to death by the King. It pits him as rival and ally to such men as Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell, and leads him perilously close to the unsavoury death many feel his savage cruelty deserves. But will he live to see his great niece, Elizabeth Tudor, become Queen?
