I am happy to welcome V. E. H. Masters to the show today presenting her book "The Castilians"!
Finalist, Wishing Shelf Book Awards Runner-up, SAW Barbara Hammond Trophy 1546 and Scotland is under attack from Henry VIII, determined to marry his son to the infant Mary, Queen of Scots. A few among the Scottish nobles, for both political and religious reasons, are eager for this alliance too. They kill Cardinal Beaton, who is Mary’s great protector, and take St Andrews Castle, expecting rescue any day from England. Local lad Will is among them, fighting for the Protestant cause. His treasonous activities place his family in grave danger, forcing his sister Bethia into an unwelcome alliance. As the long siege unravels, Bethia and Will struggle over where their loyalties lie and the choices they each must make — whether to save their family, or stay true to their beliefs and follow their hearts This debut novel closely follows the historical events of the siege of St Andrews Castle, and its dramatic re-taking. ‘A clever blend of fact and fiction…gripping action, drama galore, and a dash of romance.'
