About this audiobook
A poet, a lover, and a royal scandal...
Margaret Douglas is a close confidante of Princess Mary, and at court with Anne Boleyn where she joins a collective, writing romantic verse for 'The Devonshire Manuscript'. There, she also falls deeply in love with the dashing young Thomas Howard, a fellow poet. In 1535, an engagement takes place in secret.
When Anne is executed, and Henry discovers the contract, he is furious. With no son, he has planned for his adored niece Margaret to be next in line to the throne. Howard is placed in the Tower, accused of treason, and Margaret banished to Syon Abbey. It is only when Howard dies that Margaret is released and pardoned.
In time, Margaret marries again, and bears eight children. But it is her betrothal to Thomas Howard that sets her apart, her poems and letters of love lasting long after her own, adventurous and colourful life has ended.

About the author
Carol McGrath is the author of the acclaimed Rose Trilogy - The Silken Rose, The Damask Rose and The Stone Rose. Born in Northern Ireland, she fell in love with historical fiction at a young age, when exploring local castles, such as Carrickfergus, and nearby archaeological digs - and discovering some ancient bones herself. While completing a degree in history, she became fascinated by the strong women who were silenced in record, and was inspired to start exploring their lives. Her first novel, The Handfasted Wife, was shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists' Association Awards, and Mistress Cromwell was widely praised as a timely feminist retelling of Tudor court life. Her novels are known for their intricacy, depth of research and powerful stories.
