I’m welcoming The Queen’s Maid: Anne Boleyn in France by Rozsa Gaston to the blog Here’s the blurb The Tudor series continues! For fans of Philippa Gregory, Elizabeth Chadwick, Carol McGrath and Anne O’Brien. A new adventure begins for Anne… France, 1514 After an enlightening period of training as a lady’s maid at Margaret of Austria’s court, Anne Boleyn has been sent to France. She arrives at the Palace of Tournelles, home of ageing King Louis and his new English wife, Mary Tudor, sister of King Henry VIII. As Anne speaks French, her main role is to serve as translator for Queen Mary. Anne’s sister Mary is also at the French court, and Anne soon learns that not everyone is pleased about the union between the French king and his young queen. The king’s cousin-in-law, Louise of Savoy, is desperate for Queen Mary not to fall pregnant, so that her son Francis will ascend the throne. And with Louise and the English queen pulling Anne in two different directions, it will not be possible to appease everyone. Can Anne successfully navigate the familial politics at the French royal court? Will she make her mark as one of the queen’s maids? Or could her divided loyalties prove to be her undoing…? THE QUEEN’S MAID is a thoroughly researched, fascinating historical novel set during the 16th century in Europe. It is the second book in the Anne Boleyn Chronicles series. ‘Wonderfully detailed and entirely enjoyable. This is a young Anne in whom I absolutely believe, and who does much to explain the woman she’d become.’ – Sarah Gristwood, author of Game of Queens THE ANNE BOLEYN CHRONICLES SERIES: Book One: Maid of Honour Book Two: The Queen’s Maid Book Three: Queen of Diamonds Buy Links Universal Buy Links Book 1: https://getbook.at/MaidOfHonour Book 2: https://getbook.at/TheQueensMaid Book 3: https://getbook.at/QueenOfDiamondsAB Series Buy Links Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FNQHK66N Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FNQHK66N This series is available to read on #KindleUnlimited.
