"I was never meant to be queen-but in defying a king, I became something greater: a legend."

- Charlotte Wright, The King's Shadow

Completed.

---

In the glittering yet treacherous court of King Henry VIII, Charlotte Wright's life is forever changed when she catches the king's eye. Mixed-race, beautiful, and intelligent, Charlotte serves as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Anne Boleyn, hoping for a quiet life and dreaming of a future with her childhood love, William. But Henry's infatuation turns her world upside down, tearing away her freedom, her innocence, and the man she loves. Forced into an unwanted relationship with the king, Charlotte finds herself entangled in the brutal politics of power, while haunted by the memory of a life she once cherished.

When Charlotte becomes pregnant, Henry's hopes for a male heir ignite a plan to make her his queen at any cost, even as Queen Anne desperately tries to hold onto her crown. But Charlotte, hardened by her loss and Henry's relentless cruelty, makes a daring escape to protect her child, knowing it may cost her life.

As Henry's rage grows, he becomes obsessed with hunting down the woman who defied him. Yet Charlotte's strength and sacrifice leave a lasting mark-a legacy of courage and defiance that endures long after the king's shadow fades.

The King's Shadow is a powerful reimagining of Tudor history, exploring themes of resilience, love, and the cost of survival under the rule of a tyrant.

A HENRY STORY 2: Trials Of The Fallen Prince by AngstQueenRin

Henry has changed and risen from rock bottom, but can he do it again? Join him as he challenges his comfort zone in his ongoing quest for more, tackling trials and facing his deepest fear to reignite the light within. *** Over the last six months, Henry has worked hard to tackle every challenge of exile and make himself a successful outcast. He has undergone a profound transformation and turned his rock bottom into the greatest opportunity of his life, yet will he have the strength to do so once more? Join Henry as he breaks the confinement of his comfort zone in an unending pursuit for more. Yet, however far he is willing to go to find his redemption, something cannot be repaired if it was never deemed broken in the first place. Henry's hardest lesson awaits him as he recklessly gambles with a bond more fragile than it appeared - a bond that may only be saved if its true meaning and worth are recognized before it is too late. Meet new characters and species, and watch new and old villains rise as you once again dive into the Underland alongside the Fallen Prince of Regalia. His quest continues - to overcome the trials for his power, for his bond, and for his resolve to confront himself, survive his breaking point, and reignite the light within. And what a quest it will be. *** DISCLAIMER: This work is based on Suzanne Collins' "Gregor the Overlander"-series (The Underland Chronicles) and a sequel to "Memories of the Fallen Prince" (A Henry Story 1). It is not recommended to read this work without having read those.

The Arranged Marriage (The Tudor's Series) by Dat_AthRojas

***MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY*** Following the divorce of his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII of England continues on his search for a new Queen. Enduring the hatred of his people that once screamed his name out of love and the orders from his Privy Council, Henry's freedom to choose his future Queen is jeopardized when his Chief Minister, Thomas Cromwell, 1st Earl of Essex, introduces the famous, Lady Anne Boleyn. Desperate for another heir, Henry is clearly blinded by love at the sight of Lady Boleyn. But will Henry's wish for a male heir be granted or will something else catch the King's eye? Read along as you watch the fate of Henry VIII's legacy change forever. Based on the Showtime Series 'The Tudors'. This book will take a slight curvature involving the original series, since my other book 'Long May She Reign' and the rest of the following, tie into the Tudor family. There will be an overlap in a few of the chapters but will mainly focus on the Tudors. Keep in mind this is a FANFIC, this story won't follow Henry's life every step of the way. His last wife won't be mentioned, and the 4th and 5th will be written around the new characters.

LITTLE VIENNA by Seekani_

Vienna could feel the King's eyes on her now, and she wanted to scream in excitement and panic. She wondered why he was staring at her, but she quickly figured it was probably for the same reason she had been staring at him. She swallowed to calm down her nerves and confidently looked at him, immediately catching his eyes, and she didn't look away this time. Christopher was a bit surprised by her action as she matched his stare. It seemed like she was challenging him to look away first. His lips curled up in a smirk, and she smiled at him, but neither of them looked away from each other. Christopher was impressed by her boldness, and Vienna was simply mesmerised by him. * * * * In the midst of preparations for his royal wedding, King Christopher's life is turned upside down by the unexpected arrival of Vienna, the youngest daughter of his father's dear friend. Once a mere child, Vienna has blossomed into a stunning beauty, capturing the king's attention and igniting a passion he cannot deny. Desperate for a male heir, Christopher is bound by duty to marry the princess chosen for him. But as he finds himself drawn to Vienna's intelligence, wit, and charm, he begins to question his obligations. Torn between loyalty and desire, Christopher must choose between his royal duty and the love that threatens to destroy his carefully laid plans. For Vienna, the king's sudden interest is both thrilling and terrifying. Aware of the scandal that could ruin her reputation, she struggles to conceal her feelings, even as she is inexorably drawn to Christopher's magnetic presence. As the wedding day approaches, Christopher and Vienna must navigate the treacherous landscape of court politics, family expectations, and their own forbidden attraction. Will they risk everything for love, or will duty and obligation prevail? AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ON AMAZON KINDLE. LINK IS ON MY BIO
