Alison Weir: The Pretender's Wife, Gebunden

Klappentext

From the bestselling author of SIX TUDOR QUEENS, an enthralling tale of love, ambition, tragedy and sacrifice, spanning all four corners of the British Isles.

On a bright November morning, Lady Catherine Gordon arrives at Stirling Castle to marry a man she has never met. This handsome stranger, a controversial newcomer at the court of King James IV, swears that he is Richard Plantagenet - the young prince thought murdered in the Tower twelve years earlier.

King James recognises Richard as the rightful King of England. Catrina believes and loves him. One day she will be his queen, if he can overthrow the usurper Henry, first sovereign of the Tudor dynasty.

But when Richard invades England to proclaim himself King, it is a journey fraught with danger. For the Tudors have another name for Catrina's husband - Pretender.

And while Catrina waits in Scotland, desperate to hear news of Richard, she must protect the secret they've been hiding, at any cost...
