Book One of the Stuart Queens Series
Available from Amazon UK and Amazon US
I’m delighted to have Tony Riches on the site today with his latest novel, Queen Anna, the first in his Stuart Queen series. It’s a book I’ve been quietly looking forward to: the story of a young woman navigating storms, suspicion and the uneasy politics of two kingdoms. Riches has a gift for bringing overlooked figures into clear focus, and Anna of Denmark is a fascinating choice. It promises to be a thoughtful, atmospheric beginning to the series, and I’m very pleased to share it here today.
A crown won in the eye of a storm.
A queen who refuses to be broken…
Princess Anna of Denmark sails for Scotland to marry King James VI, but storms ravage her fleet, igniting a deadly obsession with witchcraft in her new home. Arriving in a strange and paranoid court, Anna finds her new husband’s bed is a treacherous place.
Surrounded by whispering courtiers and shifting alliances, Anna refuses to remain a passive pawn. When the court takes her children to raise them away from her, the young queen draws her line in the sand.
From the windswept castles of Scotland to the glittering, dangerous English court, Anna is restored to her rightful place in history.
