Synopsis "The Nymph from Heaven: The first book of The Tudor Chronicles"
The Nymph from Heaven tells the story of possibly the most famous love triangle of all time, the results of which still ring down the centuries to us today; that of Henry VIII, Katharine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn. This intriguing story is juxtaposed with the captivating tale of Henry's younger sister, Mary Tudor. Almost everyone knows that King Henry VIII of England had six wives and two daughters, but many do not realize that he also had two sisters. Both of King Henry's sisters became queens through dynastic marriages, but their fates were very different. Margaret, King Henry's elder sister, became Queen of Scotland, while Mary, his younger sister, became Queen of France. The Nymph from Heaven is a historical novel based on the life of Henry's younger sister, Mary Tudor. Mary, not to be confused with her niece, "Bloody" Mary, graced the stage of European politics for only a few short years, but her story is a fascinating one. Born a beautiful princess into Tudor England in the late Middle Ages, Mary's hand was sought in marriage from the age of three. But bound to duty by her high position, Mary knew that any match arranged for her would almost certainly take her out of England for marriage with a stranger in a foreign land. But Mary falls in love with a poor English knight, and is determined to marry him. Through many trials and tribulations, and against all odds, Mary marries her one true love. But the price may prove too high.
