The ship that carried the King of England to Asturias where he was to meet his future bride and form a strong alliance with the small, but prosperous kingdom has been attacked, burnt, sunk. And still, the king arrives and his engagement is announced during his welcoming ball. Or maybe they are not one and the same person? Maybe both England and Asturias are part of someone's meticulous and terrifyingly brilliant plan to eliminate the true king and achieve unlimited power over a number of countries?

But however consummate this scheme may be, fate seems to have other plans and everyone knows that fate always wins. Especially if it is the Crown Princess of Asturias' destiny to meet the real English king and disclose the treacherous plan they are all part of.

King Henry by ShellyWritesBooks

Medieval England - Year 1450: Eleanor was a poor shopkeeper's daughter whose only hope for a better life for herself and her family was to marry well. When she caught the eye of Thomas Fletcher, a royal courtier of noble blood, her family thought he was the answer to all their problems. Eleanor thought he was unattractive and rude, but she didn't have any better options as a poor commoner so she accepted his proposal. They just had to somehow convince King Henry that she was a suitable bride for Thomas so he would approve of their union, because marrying Thomas meant that she would join Henry's inner circle as a courtier. At just twenty three years old Henry had to take over as the King of England when his father passed away unexpectedly. On his first day presiding over the royal court, he was faced with a tough decision, should he approve Thomas' marriage to Eleanor, a commoner that he was almost certain was unfit to join his Royal Court? He decided the only fair way to decide was to have her stay at his castle for a week as his guest so he could see for himself if she had what it took to withstand the pressure of the life of a royal courtier. What King Henry didn't count on was the feelings that started to grow for that commoner throughout the week. She was already betrothed to someone else and even if she wasn't, a King could never marry a commoner. But he also couldn't ignore the growing need he felt inside to be with her, even if it would throw his country into a civil war and turn both of their lives upside down. He knew some things were worth fighting for.

Nearly half of the planet was destroyed and and thousands were dead, so they built a wall to hide the horrific sight from their subjects. But the once happy couple fought constantly, both wanting to be stronger than the other. They grew a burning hatred for one another and went their separate ways. So, once again, they built a wall.

Promise me, Olivia, you will never associate yourself with the Daltons." I sigh, looking at the ground, "I promise, Uncle." Little did I know, that promise was soon to be broken.
