A Phoenix Rising:

Passion & power at the Tudor court
(The House of the Red Duke Book 1)
By Vivienne Brereton

At dawn, Thomas Howard is an earl at the Yorkist court of his good friend, King Richard.

At dusk, he’s a traitor at the Tudor court of King Henry.

After the Battle of Bosworth, Thomas is flung into the Tower of London by the vengeful new king.

Abandoned. Stripped of his title and lands. What lies ahead for him?

At best: a pardon. At worst: indefinite imprisonment or death itself.

Henry Tudor’s sumptuous court is a place of enchantment conjured up by a vigorous young King and his beautiful Queen.

Thomas vows to claw his way back to his rightful place there. And restore the good name of his family.

As an experienced statesman, soldier, courtier and diplomat, he also has valuable inside knowledge of the powerful courts of Europe.

Explosive secrets swirl around four young people on either side of the Narrow Sea whose lives are entwined together in the manner of an intricate Tudor tapestry.

In Cornwall, England, Cecily is leading a contented life.

in France. Valentine, Tristan, and Nicolas all live not far from Calais.

“Nicolas laid his lute to one side, hardly bothering to stifle a yawn of boredom. Nevertheless, he couldn’t escape the fact that he’d agreed to take on a new wife.”

Little by little, the deeds of the past begin to collide with those of the present.

What will happen if these family secrets are finally revealed?

Born in historic Winchester, England, Vivienne has been passionate about the Tudors for as long as she can remember. This led to a degree in Medieval History and a growing desire to write a historical novel. Words have always played an important part in her life, whether writing, editing, teaching English, or just picking up a good book.

 In preparation for her Tudor series, she did an enormous amount of research: reading, visiting historic buildings, art galleries, with the odd joust or two thrown in! She even mastered several Tudor recipes which are included in her novel. Seeing 'A Phoenix Rising', Book One of 'The House of the Red Duke' in print for the first time was a moment of great joy for her. She hopes that anyone reading it will enjoy the end result as much as she enjoyed writing it.
