1497. Daring to defy a Tudor king is pure folly! She’s the
daughter of a lord in rebellious Cornwall. He’s the son of a disgraced earl
recently released from the Tower of London. Determined to make the Howard
family great again. Can their secret love survive against such odds?
And so the story begins….
Meet the Howards. Thomas is the Earl of Surrey. Soldier. Statesman. Courtier. Head of one of the most powerful families in England. A keeper of secrets hidden behind castle walls. Heady places of ambition, intrigue, and lovers’ trysts.
Be dazzled by the dancing, drama, and display in Tudor England, Stewart Scotland, Valois France, and The Habsburg Empire.
Vivienne Brereton
Born in historic Winchester, England, Vivienne has been passionate about the Tudors for as long as she can remember. This led to a degree in Medieval History and a growing desire to write a historical novel. Words have always played an important part in her life, whether writing, editing, teaching English, or just picking up a good book.
In preparation for her Tudor series, she did an enormous amount of research: reading, visiting historic buildings, art galleries, with the odd joust or two thrown in! She even mastered several Tudor recipes which are included in her novel. Seeing 'A Phoenix Rising', Book One of 'The House of the Red Duke' in print for the first time was a moment of great joy for her. She hopes that anyone reading it will enjoy the end result as much as she enjoyed writing it.
