Midnight Queen is the second volume in Anne Stevens' epic Tudor Crimes saga. Stretching from the downfall of Cardinal Wolsey, through the turbulent years of the matter of King Henry's divorce, it sketches out the very real world of Tudor middle England. The story is told at breathtaking speed. Behind the great events of Tudor times, there is a dark underworld of corrupt politicians, foreign intrigeurs and dangerous men, looking to advance themselves, at any cost. The author shows you the hidden events, through the eyes of the ordinary people who serve the great powers at court. Will Draper, now married to Miriam, is called on, once more, to help destroy a plot against the influential Pole family. They are descendants of the last Plantagenet king, and someone is killing them off. Thomas Cromwell, Eustace Chapuys, King Henry VIII, Stephen Gardiner, and Sir Thomas More all play their part, and the known historical facts are woven into a tale of intrigue and murder, which may well bring down a dynasty.Anne Stevens is a welcome addition to the genre, and has a real feel foe the commoner in Tudor times. She has her characters behaving in the right manner for the age, and does not impose modern values on Tudor thinking. If you do not have wealth, then the harsh truth is there to see. We are treated to scenes in ramshakle villages, great houses, taverns, and bawdy houses, where a night's pleasure can set a man back six pennies. Equality is not a factor, and a fortune can only be won by treachery, great service, or at the point of a sharp sword.Will Draper serves Cromwell, often violently, and his sword is always ready. Murderous jugglers, traitorous lords, spoiled young men, social climbers, princesses, great ladies, and cheap whores sprinkle the action, bringing the flavour of Tudor reality to this sprawling epic of historical fiction.

I was a mail-ordered bride kept in the house for eight months without documents.After he took me to America, he enslaved me and withheld my immigration papers, so I had no identity documentation, wasn't able to work, and was kept in captivity.On the pages of these three Christian bedtime stories, I reveal my entire journey of adventure, discouragement, faith, doubt, love, fortitude, courage, and spiritual growth.Help prepare your daughter for real life - get her a copy of this Christian adventure book today!
