A fascinating historical fiction of the life of Katharine of Aragon, daughter of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. Betrothed to Arthur, the Prince of Wales, Katharine’s marriage seals an alliance between Spain and England. Katharine and Arthur fall in love, but Arthur’s premature death leaves Katharine a widow after only a few months of marriage. The desire to fulfill her destiny as Queen of England brings Katharine to the throne as the wife of Henry VIII, Arthur’s younger brother. The story unfolds with plenty of political intrigue. Katharine’s early years as the daughter of a warrior queen and her life at the exotic Moorish palace at Granada are brought vividly to life as are the customs and people of Tudor England.
