    About this ebook

    She arrived as their hope for the future, but a terrible secret may destroy them all.

    Katharine of Aragon reaches England months behind schedule, blown a hundred miles off course in the midst of a violent storm. The tempest is but a sign of what’s to come. The Spanish princess has never met Prince Arthur, her betrothed, before, nor knows much about the customs and traditions of England, and finds herself in the mist of murder, intrigue, and a horrific plot against the very throne she has come to protect.

    As the royal enforcer leaves a trail of bloodshed in his wake to secure the line of succession, Katharine finds herself falling in love with her sweet prince. Little do either of them know what awaits them in the desolate, frozen countryside of Wales, nor of the adventure that will lead to a frantic rescue operation to save the life of her dearest friend...

    Author

    Charity Bishop

    Charity Bishop is funny, quirky, analytical, a little sentimental, and occasionally forgetful, with an offbeat sense of humor, a tendency to like sci-fi, and a storehouse of knowledge about “useless trivia.” She gets fixated on learning things, and obsesses over them until she knows everything there is to know about them, then looks for something new to learn. She gets bored with “same-ness,” but is good at impartiality and seeing both sides in an argument. In fact, she’s likely to argue both sides for the sheer fun of it.She grew up in the church and was saved at a young age, but re-evaluated and re-dedicated her life to Christ three years ago. Since then, God has encouraged her to trust Him with her life and future – which sometimes is an uphill battle for a stubborn girl. As she struggles with understanding His ways along with her characters, He gently reveals the answers. He’s her co-author, both in the stories she tells and in her very own story.Her day job is a magazine editor, and her hobbies (other than writing books) include over-analyzing everything she comes into contact with, vigorously defending various incarnations of Sherlock Holmes against perceived injustices, irritating her friends with theological musings, and MBTI typing fictional characters.
