Amethyst and Topaz Plantagenet are two very different sisters. They are grand-nieces of Richard III, who lost his life and kingdom to Henry Tudor, future father of Henry VIII.

Amethyst is the love of Henry VIII’s life, but each time he proposes marriage, something – or someone – gets in the way. Meanwhile, Topaz wants what’s rightfully hers: the throne of England.

And hers it would have been, had her father been crowned Richard III’s heir. But life holds many strange twists of fate.

Discover Henry VIII’s reign, torrid love affairs and doomed marriages through the eyes and emotions of remarkable women – the daughters of Henry’s deadly enemies – in Diana Rubino’s ‘To Love A King’.
