Description
The Queen's Sorrow by Suzannah Dunn Mary Tudor, England's first ruling queen, should have been overjoyed when she married Philip, the dashing Prince of Spain. However, despite her ardent devotion, he makes it painfully clear that he cares little for his new wife. As Mary struggles to produce an heir, her situation becomes increasingly desperate. As a result, Mary begins to vent her anguish on her people, and England becomes a place of cruelty, persecution, and fear. It is against this backdrop that the story of Rafael, a Spanish sundial maker who becomes the one person Mary trusts, unfolds. His life - and new-found love - will be caught in the chaos that follows. This novel offers a unique perspective on the tragic fall of Mary Tudor, exploring the complexities of her situation and the consequences of her actions.
