About this ebook

This “rewarding historical novel” recounts the dramatic story of Catherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII’s six wives (Booklist). 
 
England anxiously awaits Prince Arthur’s betrothed—the Spanish princess who will be its future queen. But when Arthur dies not long after the wedding, Catherine of Aragon’s fate becomes uncertain. Will the king and Catherine’s parents arrange a marriage with Arthur’s brother, Henry, or will she return to Spain a widow?
 
Through all the turmoil, the young princess’s resolve remains unshaken. She will one day be England’s queen—no matter how long it takes….
 
This novel in the Young Royals series by the New York Times-bestselling author follows Catherine as she “develops from a callow young girl into a woman who fights for her rights as much as the times permitted” (School Library Journal).
