Amidst an entirely foreign environment comprising unfamiliar language, cuisine, and weather, Catalina, at the tender age of sixteen, finds herself utterly isolated among strangers. The yearning for her mother and grief over her lost brother weighs heavily upon her heart, while even those tasked with her protection remain untrustworthy. This is the tale of Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry's Queens, outlining the events leading to her historical demise, while also offering readers an intimate glimpse into the life she lived.
