England, 1604.

Fourteen-year-old Frances Howard is tricked into falling in love with the handsome Robin Carr, 'The King's Favorite', so a certain member of court can control the Throne.

There is one problem though - Frances is already married.

Frances and Robin, however, fall madly and deeply in love, shocking everyone and throwing the plot into chaos.

Caught up in a storm of lies, betrayal, witchcraft, and murder, Frances and Robin remain oblivious to the dangers around them and are willing to do anything to be together, including kill anyone who tries to get in their way.

Set during the turbulent reign of King James I, 'The King's Favourite' by Marjorie Bowen takes readers behind the scenes of court intrigue more deadly than the Tudor Court.

Fans of Philippa Gregory will love this book.

Marjorie Bowen was born in 1885 on Hayling Island in Hampshire. She and her sister grew up in poverty, but Bowen was eventually able to study at the Slade School of Fine Art and later in Paris. Her first novel, the violent historical 'The Viper of Milan' (written when she was 16) was rejected by several publishers, who considered it inappropriate for a young woman to have written such a novel. It went on to become a best-seller when eventually published.

Genre: Historical Romance
