A gripping historical fiction novel set in the Tudor court, where sisterhood is the only shield against a world of treachery. ISABELLA'S DAUGHTER brings to life one of history's most overlooked and heartbreaking true stories: the secret visit of Juana of Castile to England in 1506 - and what it meant for her desperate, isolated sister, Catherine of Aragon. Left behind in England after the death of her young husband, Prince Arthur, Catherine of Aragon endures years of neglect, poverty, and political limbo.
She is a princess with no power, a royal with no future until a storm at sea delivers the most unexpected gift: her beloved sister Juana, Queen of Castile, stranded on English shores. For a brief, brilliant moment, Catherine sees a way forward. A chance to remind the Tudor court that she is not merely a widow to be forgotten, but the daughter of Isabella of Castile, a woman who changed the course of history. But Duke Philip of Burgundy has no intention of allowing the sisters to unite.
Whispering lies about Juana's sanity into willing ears, conspiring with the calculating King Henry VII, and harboring the fugitive traitor Edmund de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk, Philip is weaving a web of deceit that could destroy everything Catherine hopes for ... and everything Juana was born to be. Surrounded by spies. Watched by enemies. Separated by locked doors and whispered slanders. Can two women, armed with only their intelligence and their unbreakable bond, survive the ambitions of the men who seek to control them?? Perfect for fans of: Hilary Mantel, Alison Weir, Philippa Gregory, C.
W. Gortner, and Elizabeth Fremantle?
