Description
She was sent across the border at thirteen as part of a diplomatic calculation. She became the woman who made Great Britain possible.
In August 1503, a thirteen-year-old English princess crossed the border into Scotland and never really came home.
She was Margaret Tudor, daughter of Henry VII, sister to Henry VIII, and a girl sent north as a diplomatic promise between two kingdoms that had spent generations at war.
She did not choose Scotland. She did not choose her husband, James IV of Scotland - a charismatic king decades older than she was. And she did not expect that, in time, he would become the closest thing to patient love she would ever know.
She did not choose the Battle of Flodden, either, a single afternoon that left her a widow, a mother, and one of the most vulnerable women in Europe.
What followed was a life shaped by impossible choices: a regency she fought to hold, a second marriage that cost her more than she expected, and a betrayal she would spend years surviving.
Through three marriages, the deaths of children, exile, and the constant pressure of men who wanted what she held, Margaret endured.
She could not have known, when she crossed that border at thirteen, that she carried something with her - a thread that would run forward through generations, leading, a century later, to the moment when England and Scotland would finally share a crown.
She did not set out to change history. She survived long enough to do it anyway.
The Thread Between Crowns is a historical fiction story of love, loss, legacy, and the unyielding strength of a woman history nearly forgot. Part of the Queens of the Tudor Crown series, it is told in Margaret's voice and can be read as a standalone.
