*******************************************************************************************
When an empire is at stake, one woman stands between the past and the future.

In post-Restoration England, King Charles II has fathered numerous children, but not a single legitimate heir. So it falls to his brother, James, Duke of York, to head the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland-the three crowns of Britain. But James's devout Catholicism, and desire to return Britain to the rule of Rome, does not sit well with his subjects and his time as king is sure to be short.

Born leader and brilliant soldier, William of Orange, has a plan... By marrying Mary, James' fifteen-year-old daughter and heir, he will position himself perfectly to seize the English crown.
Mary must also decide how much power to cede to William, should she keep him as Consort or let him rule beside her as King?

The Stuart saga continues with The Haunted Sisters.
