Gilt by Katherine Longshore - Hardcover
Only 1 left in stockIn the court of King Henry VIII, nothing is free--
and love comes at the highest price of all.“In modern times, Cat would most likely be a cheerleader; the king, captain of the football team. But the royal backdrop with historical underpinnings makes a far more interesting story…Readers can practically feel the embroidered ball gowns and hand-stitched lace.” –The Los Angeles Times
“Longshore, who's clearly done her historical homework, takes full advantage of the Tudor standards. . . and surroundings. . . but Cat is a completely contemporary American teenager.”—BCCB
“Longshore writes a believable novel of historical fiction with well-developed characters and entertaining . . . plot twists.”—VOYA
When Kitty Tylney's best friend, Catherine Howard, worms her way into King Henry VIII's heart and brings Kitty to court, she's thrust into a world filled with fabulous gowns, sparkling jewels, and elegant parties. No longer stuck in Cat's shadow, Kitty's now caught between two men--the object of her affection and the object of her desire. But court is also full of secrets, lies, and sordid affairs, and as Kitty witnesses Cat's meteoric rise and fall as queen, she must figure out how to keep being a good friend when the price of telling the truth could literally be her head.

The Heretic's Wife : A Novel in Hardcover by Brenda Rickman Vantrease
Only 1 left in stockFrom the bestselling author of The Illuminator comes a magnificent tale about the power of love and the perils of faith.

From the king’s lavish banquet halls to secret dungeons and the inner sanctums of Thomas More, Brenda Rickman Vantrease’s glorious new novel illuminates the public pageantry and the private passions of men and women of conscience in treacherous times.

Her bestselling debut novel, THE ILLUMINATOR, was published to critical acclaim and translated into fourteen languages. Her life-long passion for English history and love of story make historical fiction a natural habitat for her imagination.
