Mary, the Duchess of York, is sent to Scotland at her father's bidding to marry the young King of Scotland. She soon finds herself alone in a foreign and cold country, surrounded in a court of strangers.  She finds an ally in her husband, James and begins to accumulate power. 

Then her father suddenly dies and her younger brother, Edward, takes the throne of England. Mary soon finds herself tangled in plans of a coup and with the support of her husband and the Scottish people, she stakes her claim for her birthright. 

But these are not mere highland games. 
Winning means eternal glory. 
Losing means an axe to the neck.

My name is Rosalie Amelia Rocasolano and I am the girl who didn't plan on marrying a prince who is soon going to be king. I was going to marry some one probably below my station seeing as my mother and father were rich meant that people were only friends with us for our money. But when my father found out that the king and Queen of France and Scotland were hosting a party to find a bride for their son who is the prince, they decided to prepare me for it. I never been to French court before but that was all going to change. I was told by my lady that the prince was very keen with a lot girls and wouldn't be surprised if he took one to his bed tonight for fun. I didn't want to marry someone like that who was only interested in a girl in bed, because my virtue was everything and if my and the prince were married it would only be for a alliance seeing as I would some day be able to rule the thrown of Spain if something happened to my uncle of my father who rules. since he had no children it would fall on my father and than to me and so on to my children. So you can says one day if I don't marry the prince I would still be a princess any way and some day Queen. I am the prince of France my mother and Father have always told me so that one day I would rule but honestly I don't think I could rule beside a girl who is just power hungry. But why not enjoy the moment of freedom I have now. My Mother says a girl isn't going to want to marry me if I take girls to be, but it's my way of getting to know them why not. Most of them just want to sleep with me anyway why not give them what they want.

~𝕭𝖊𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖞𝖆𝖑 𝖎𝖘 𝖔𝖓𝖑𝖞 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖇𝖊𝖌𝖎𝖓𝖓𝖎𝖓𝖌~ Born the youngest daughter of Charles I, Duke of Bourbon, Constance of Bourbon grows up amidst comfort and splendour on her powerful family's estates in France. A shy child, she prefers her prayers and pearls to the hefty politics her Father and brothers have no choice but to partake in but war will reach into her life quicker than she could ever know.... Across the sea, in England, the Wars of the Roses rages, a bloody battle for the throne between the royal Houses of York and Lancaster where a word weighs as much as the swing of a sword. Amidst it all, stands Edward of York, the handsome eldest son to the Duke of York, a young knight, eager to fight but forced to flee England in 1459 when the Lancastrian King and Queen overpower his family forces at Ludlow Castle. With his Neville cousins (one being the infamous Earl of Warwick) Edward sails to France where Warwick begins his plots to regain the House of York power. It is as a result of these plots, Edward and Constance are destined to meet. Worlds apart, they will be matched for the benefit of others but when tragedy strikes at the very heart of the House of York, forcing Edward closer to the throne than ever, they find they are, perhaps, what each other needs. Amongst the tangled nest of vipers, surrounded by bloodied thorns, will they keep the crowns destiny calls for them to claim?
