Henry VIII broke a kingdom for a son. He got a daughter instead.

Mary I of England was born into certainty - a princess of England, a cherished daughter, and the center of a glittering court. Then her father turned his gaze elsewhere, to Anne Boleyn, and everything she had been was rewritten. Declared illegitimate. Stripped of her title. Separated from her mother, Queen Catherine of Aragon. Pressed, under threat, to sign documents denying her own name.

Yet, she endured.

For years, Mary lived in the shadow of her father's choices, learning the quiet strength of patience. When the crown finally came to her, it came late - and with it, the promise of something she had been denied all her life: love.

She married Philip II of Spain, believing she had, at last, been chosen.

She was wrong.

As queen, Mary fought to secure her place in a kingdom that had already learned to doubt her. She held power, demanded loyalty, and made choices that would shape her legacy - from the fate of Thomas Cranmer to the bitter loss of Calais.

She was not always the queen who was loved.

She was the queen who remained.

A historical fiction work told in Mary's intimate first-person voice, The Faithful Crown is a deeply human portrait of a woman who endured more than she was ever meant to - and a story of longing, resilience, and the cost of believing that love will finally come.

Part of a series, but can be read as a standalone.
