SYNOPSIS: When young Mary Howard receives the news that she will be leaving her home for the grand court of King Henry VIII, to attend his mistress Anne Boleyn, she is ecstatic. Everything Anne touches seems to turn to gold, and Mary is certain Anne will one day become Queen. But Mary has also seen the King's fickle nature and how easily he discards those who were once close to him.
Discovering that she is a pawn in a carefully orchestrated plot devised by her father, the duke of Norfolk, Mary dare not disobey him. Yet despite all of her efforts to please him, she too falls prey to his cold wrath. Not until she becomes betrothed to Harry Fitzroy, the Duke of Richmond and son to King Henry VIII, does Mary finds the love and approval she's been seeking. But just when Mary believes she is finally free of her father, the tides turn. Now Mary must learn to play her part well in a dangerous chess game that could change her life--and the course of history.

It's great to have a Tudor era book from the viewpoint of someone other than the main players. I've always been fascinated by the character of Henry's bastard son.

Tudor based fiction seems to have gone the same way as the Arthurian legend is concerned over recent years as far as the number of books written in the era is concerned and now it seems to have attained a new popularity since the screening of the Tudors TC show.
ReplyDeleteI think that is great as I have always enjoyed historicals and Arthurian fantasies as well.
Thanks for the giveaway and for opening it to worldwide entries.

ReplyDeletevvb32 at yahoo.com
The intrigues snaking their way throughout England at this time are at times unbelievable. It seems that no matter which side you took or even if you attempted to remain neutral, you were doomed. I think it would have been a fascinating time to be alive, but not a time I would desire to have lived in.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an interesting book.

I love this type of book! I've read a lot of books about the Tudor Court, but none like this one, from this perspective. This is my first year as a teacher with summers off (I ussually work as a year-round teacher)so I'm trying to plan the next 12 weeks off and this book would be a great start! I got the link to your give-a-way from Roberta Philbrick's page "Con-tain-it".

One can never have enough Tudor fiction. Please add me to the giveaway. I really like the use of slightly obscure figures (although not unknown) as the lead character for a book. Adds a bit of novelty to the read!
