Scotland, 1589. Princess Anne of Denmark is preparing to marry King James VI in a union designed to strengthen two kingdoms. Before she can become Scotland’s new queen, she must first prove herself worthy of the role during a year-long trial. Failure could mean permanent exile to a convent. Determined to honour her duty to crown and country, Anne sets out to be the perfect royal bride, only to find that court life brings temptations and complications she never expected.
At her side is Kirsten Sorenson, her loyal and deeply pious lady’s maid. While she dedicates herself to Anne’s success, Kirsten harbours her own private motives for wanting the royal marriage to flourish. As court politics, expectations, and personal ambitions begin to intertwine, the bonds between the women are tested in unexpected ways.
Meanwhile, in North Berwick, a young housemaid named Jura dreams of a different life. She practises the healing charms taught to her by her mother and, when she realises she is no longer safe under her master’s roof, escapes to Edinburgh in search of a fresh start. Instead, she arrives in a city gripped by fear. Suspicion of witchcraft is spreading across Scotland, and the growing hysteria reaches from ordinary households to the royal court itself.
Inspired by the real-life Scottish witch trials, this atmospheric historical novel gives voice to the women caught in an era shaped by power, superstition, and persecution. Through the intertwined lives of Anne, Kirsten, and Jura, it explores the strength of female relationships and the quiet acts of courage that help women survive.
This exclusive edition is signed by the author, making it a special addition for historical fiction collectors and readers alike.
Perfect for readers who enjoy feminist historical fiction, stories inspired by real events, witch trial history, strong female characters, and atmospheric tales of power, survival, and sisterhood.
