“Compelling ... comparable with the likes of Margaret George.” Publishers Weekly
"Weaves a fast-paced plot through some of the most harrowing years of English history.” Judith Merkle Riley
"Boldly strides into Philippa Gregory territory as it chronicles the adventures of a strong-minded lady-in-waiting to Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII's first wife ... marvelously researched ... A classic historical novel - sweeping, gritty and realistic." Historical Novels Review
Set in the nerve-jangled court of King 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.
