Seak peek. Book 2. My Blood My Breath. Release date- 29.08.26

Light from the south window fell in pale stripes across the floor, catching the judges on their dais and leaving the rafters in darkness. The murmur of spectators echoed strangely in the vast space — a low tide of whispers, coughs, and shifting benches. To Dacre’s right sat the jury; before him, the King’s commissioners; behind him, the restless crowd. He felt the weight of the hall’s...

Praise

Amazon- Authentic and interesting.
I love history it's what we were made of and without it, we would not be here. This book is exceptionally written from the heart of an author who cared to put pen to paper.

If you are a history buff, then don't miss reading this exceptional story..

Not usually my genre, but it hooked me in.
Not normally into this genre, but this story was so well written - it hooked me in.
You could see the time spent in historical research. A great read. Lots of surprises. The characters are great.

– Mark M.

My Heart My Blood is a mix of fact and fiction, which brings to life the Tudor era in such a spectacular way that it was hard to put down.

This is the first book by this author that I have read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The author’s writing style reads seamlessly, and her thorough research and documentation of historical names and dates are impressive.

William Dacrae, heir to Greystoke and Dacrae baronies.

Character Spotlight: William Dacrae (Dacre)— Warrior, Poet, Wit.

A historical figure stands out to us for a few reasons, they refuse to be relegated to the pages of history.

William steps forward as just such a one, with shoulders squared, eyes bright with conviction he says, “Tell them who I am.”

A warrior, yes, but that is merely one layer. Beneath the steel and discipline lies a poet’s heart. His wit as keen as the blade he wields. With his faith, he defies evil. With his romantic heart, he...
