Part of the Tudor Novels Series. A vivid account of the aftermath of young Katharine of Aragon's ill-fated first marriage to Henry VIII's elder brother, Arthur, Prince of Wales.
One moment she is wife of England's heir apparent, the next a virtual pauper: Katharine of Aragon ' s life is turned upside down with the death of her ailing husband. Whether their marriage was consummated is a question that will overshadow her life. With only half of her dowry paid, Katharine's position is dubious, and the years of humiliation and exile begin. She bravely accepts her fate, always conscious of young Henry, the egotistical and handsome prince destined to become Henry VIII. Marriage to him would restore her position-but will he choose her for his bride ?
Set against a backdrop of English and Spanish intrigue, this is the story of a princess exiled in a foreign land and the handsome, wayward prince who alone has the power to rescue her by making her his Queen.
