****************************************************************************************************

Princess Mary Rose is the youngest sister of King Henry VIII, and one of the few people whom he adores unconditionally. Known throughout Europe for her charm and beauty, Mary is the golden child of the Tudor family and is granted her every wish. Except when it comes to marriage.

Henry, locked in a political showdown with France, decides to offer up his pampered sister to secure peace between the two mighty kingdoms.

Mary is unwillingly sent to France to marry the ailing King Louis, leaving behind her true love, Charles Brandon.

But she will do anything to be reunited with Charles, even defy her brother, the most feared man in Europe...

Industry Reviews

Her novels are still very much to be enjoyed ... Any writer who can both educate and thrill a reader of any age deserves to be remembered and find new fans ... One only has to look at the TV/Media to see that the appetite for this kind of writing is still very much there -- Matt Bates * WH Smith Travel *
Jean Plaidy doesn't just write the history, she makes it come alive. -- Julia Moffat, RNA
This recaptures the colour and the lusty dishonesty of the French and English courts of the 16th century. Plaidy addicts will love it * Evening Standard *
These books are page-turners; they offer a wonderful way to learn about history, their heroines are smart, strong and in control of their destinies and their stories will remain with you for ever...They are a celebration of women's spirit throughout history. * Daily Express *
