'I dreamt about her again tonight. The woman whose name I don't know and whose face remains ever obscured...I don't know who this woman is, but I have a dreadful and inexplicable feeling that, one day, I will...' Many of us have heard of the story of Henry VIII and his six wives, but so often we take this story without hearing their points of view. As the second instalment in my Tudor wives series, To Keep a King explores the harrowing and courageous journey of Katherine of Aragon, the first wife. Can Katherine survive the political games and the difficulties of being queen in a new country, all whilst battling her complicated past?

"Nothing, not even the royal blood that coursed through their veins, could ever stop the affectionate feelings the two royals had for each other." [COMPLETED] Rankings: #1 in #frary #1 in #marystuart #3 in #reign #17 in Historical Fiction #23 in QUEEN (This story is based on the CW television show, Reign. It will be lightly going off of the show's story line. Please realize that I will be changing multiple scenarios and will not be following exactly by the script of Reign the majority of the time. Also, I give all credits necessary to the makers of Reign and CW. I only take the credit for Princess Arabella, who is purely my own fictional character. Enjoy!)
