Description
Book 1 : Abduction of the Scots Queen
Two young Englishmen attempt to abduct the infant Mary Stewart and claim Henry Tudor's gold Charming, intelligent and treacherous, Meg Douglas is niece to the English king. Her plans for the child queen cause havoc with low-born Matho Spirston and his friend Harry Wharton. If caught, they know the executioner's axe awaits them.
Scotland is unstable, heretic England fears invasion from Europe and the Dowager Queen of Scotland fears for her child's safety. Attractive, entirely self-centred Lord Lennox pursues both Meg and the Dowager Queen.
Minor characters are beautifully portrayed in this romantic adventure. Best of all is Matho, shrewd, funny and sometimes naïve, a bit of a Tudor chancer who goes where life takes him until he meets the love of his life on his first important mission.
"Abduction is historical fiction at its best, a thumping good read involving the lives of nobles and commoners who lived long ago. Highly recommended" J.G. Harlond
"An entertaining read" Overlander
