Produktbeschreibung

As England prepares for a royal wedding, old rivalries ignite in the heart of York.

The northern counties still echo with the scars of past rebellions, and tensions simmer beneath the surface as Princess Margaret Tudor travels north for a grand celebration: her marriage to King James IV of Scotland, sealing the alliance brokered by her father-in-law, Henry VII, to secure peace between the rival kingdoms.

But peace is fragile.

In the ancient city of York, where loyalty to the old Plantagenet cause dies hard, Davina, a gifted fire-eater with a knack for landing in trouble, arrives on the eve of the festivities. She finds the city bristling with unrest. Armed men loyal to the feuding powers of the North (the Archbishop of York and Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland) fill the streets alongside peasants gathered to honor the Tudor princess.

As old grudges resurface, violence threatens to engulf the city. Lambert Simnel, the king's falconer and former Pretender to the throne, gets caught up in the chaos and becomes Davina's unlikely companion as the city teeters on the edge of open conflict. But Davina didn't come to York by chance. As flames of rebellion and revenge rise, so does the interest of Sir Thomas Lovell, Henry VII's ruthless enforcer, who sees through facades-and hides secrets of his own.

Secrets, spies, and simmering rebellion weave together in this gripping tale of danger, loyalty, and survival at the twilight of the 15th century, perfect for fans of Tudor-era historical fiction, courtly intrigue, and fearless heroines with something to hide who

Autorenporträt

Charity Bishop is funny, quirky, analytical, a little sentimental, and occasionally forgetful, with an offbeat sense of humor, a tendency to like sci-fi, and a storehouse of knowledge about "useless trivia." She gets fixated on learning things, and obsesses over them until she knows everything there is to know about them, then looks for something new to learn. She gets bored with "same-ness," but is good at impartiality and seeing both sides in an argument. In fact, she's likely to argue both sides for the sheer fun of it.

She grew up in the church and was saved at a young age, but re-evaluated and re-dedicated her life to Christ three years ago. Since then, God has encouraged her to trust Him with her life and future which sometimes is an uphill battle for a stubborn girl. As she struggles with understanding His ways along with her characters, He gently reveals the answers. He's her co-author, both in the stories she tells and in her very own story.

Her day job is a magazine editor, and her hobbies (other than writing books) include over-analyzing everything she comes into contact with, vigorously defending various incarnations of Sherlock Holmes against perceived injustices, irritating her friends with theological musings, and MBTI typing fictional characters.
