Description

Princess Catalina of Spain arrives in England at sixteen, destined for a royal marriage that will bind her future to the Tudor throne. After loss, uncertainty, and years of waiting, she becomes Queen of England—and must draw on her faith, intelligence, and resolve as forces within the court threaten her marriage, her legitimacy, and her place in history. Set against the opulence and danger of the Tudor court, this richly detailed historical novel portrays Katherine of Aragon not as a passive victim, but as a courageous and devoted woman confronting dynastic politics, religious conviction, betrayal, and the demands of love. The opening volume of a series about Henry VIII’s queens, it combines meticulous historical insight with vivid, emotionally charged storytelling.
