Coles An Heir Most Inconvenient: The Isobel Kerr Novels, #1 at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
His birth was quiet. The panic was not.
In the winter of 1571, Isobel Kerr — midwife, herbalist, and long-suffering witness to the incompetence of her betters — is dragged through a blizzard to Harden Keep for a birth she already knows will be trouble. She does not yet know it will take over her life.
The boy she delivers is small, silent, and marked — and his mother's quiet bloodline runs straight back to the line Henry VIII named to inherit England. On paper this newborn outranks Elizabeth, whom her enemies still call a bastard, and Mary, Queen of Scots, whom old King Henry barred outright. Which makes him the most dangerous thing in the realm: an heir nobody chose and everybody wants.
For sixteen years, as the Queen's spies and the Scots queen's plotters hunt the length of England, Isobel must keep one growing boy invisible — through conspiracies, betrayals, and the slow closing of a net that ends at the scaffold of a queen.
Two queens fought for a crown. Neither of them was the rightful heir.
For readers of Philippa Gregory and Hilary Mantel — a darkly comic Tudor tale told from below stairs, where history remembers the queens, but it was the midwife who decided how the story ended.
