In a kingdom ruled by men, a young Spanish woman is handed over to England to be the Tudor's new toy, and eventually, the queen. This woman is Catherine of Aragon, the first wife of Henry VIII. Her journey began long before her marriage and ascension to queen, and ended long after she was replaced by the infamous Anne Boleyn. Her story is often overshadowed and forgotten, but she may be one of the most remarkable women of her time. In the royal court, the walls have ears, and the loyalties of the servants and spies determines who really rules the kingdom. Watch through the eyes of one of Catherine's most trusted maidservants and whisperers, and observe the glamorous world of Catherine of Aragon and her downfall at the hands of lust and love. HISTORICAL DISCLAIMER-- This story is backed by history, though there are many characters of my own imagination. The four maidservants are characters that I created, however, places, events, and many other things are true. If you see an error, ask me about it and I will tell you if it was meant to be that way or not.

Who is to say that there are stories left to go untold? On the outside of a village with a name long forgotten, there is a garden. It is a labyrinth of flowers of all sorts, some are poison and do not squeal in fright at the slightest bristle of wind like the rest. The garden is enticing, stopping every travelling knight or vagabond in their pathes simply to view it. But this story isn't about the garden, no, it is about the voice (every bit as enticing as the garden itself) that weaves its lullaby through the garden once a month. Seldom few can hear the melodic tune, fewer know the goings on of the full moon when Katerina's lullaby comes to play. Would you be so bold as to take a peek, or are you so weakminded that you will anyway? In the War of the Roses, every rose is said to have a thorn.
