Lucy Walter confronts conflict and peril as power, love, and survival collide during England's Civil War. Lucy Walter was no stranger to conflict after watching her parents fight like cats, only to become the target of her father's fists. She fell in love as the bloody Civil War ripped England and her family apart. She was with her lover when he learnt of his father's execution, only to read that the death warrant was signed by a relative. Then she had fight to save her children from being dragged away, and her family being destroyed. Charles II's Secret Queen is the true story of court intrigues, scandal, and seduction. It is the tale of a woman's fight for survival against the odds, and the thin line between loyalty and betrayal. Of a mother who had to choose between her king, her lover, and her children. Charles II's Secret Queen is based on new research, lost manuscripts, and fresh insights. To some, Lucy Walter is Charles II's treacherous whore, she's the villain without a voice, and even less virtue. After three centuries of bias, it's time to let Lucy be heard. It's time to answer the question: Was Lucy an Infamous Mistress or Forsaken Queen? When you know the answer, your perspective will change forever. Reader beware, this book is treason.
