Description

In 1582, England is gripped by the fear of traitors. Kate Lyon, tainted by her exiled mother's past treason, has been disowned by her father, Baron Thornleigh. But in truth Kate and her husband, Owen, are only posing as Catholic sympathizers to gain information for Queen Elizabeth's spymaster.

Kate is an expert decoder. The deception pains her, but she takes heart in the return to England of her long-estranged brother, Robert. If only she could be sure where his loyalties lie....

Kate and Owen's spying yields valuable intelligence: English Catholics abroad are spearheading an invasion that would see Elizabeth deposed—or worse—in favor of Mary, Queen of Scots. Kate takes on the dangerous role of double agent, decoding and delivering letters the exiles send Mary. But when lives and fortunes hang by the thinnest threads, betrayal is only a whisper away....

A brilliant blend of Tudor history and lush storytelling, The Traitor's Daughter is a riveting, passionate novel of loyalty, heartbreak, and one woman's undaunted courage.

About the author

Dear Reader,
I'm delighted to share with you the release of my latest book, "Page-Turner: Your Path to Writing a Novel that Publishers Want and Readers Buy." As the author of novels with sales of over half a million books, I hope "Page-Turner" will help and inspire emerging writers everywhere.
Here's a little background about me. Before becoming an author, I enjoyed a twenty-year acting career in film and TV, and in stage productions across North America. I loved being an actor.
It felt like a natural extension of my acting to create characters for fiction, and in 2008 Kensington Books published my first novel, "The Queen’s Lady," set in Tudor England. It was the first in what became the Thornleigh Saga series of seven books. ("Riveting Tudor drama in the bestselling vein of Philippa Gregory" - USA Today)
Here are the Thornleigh Saga books in order:
1. The Queen's Lady
2. The King's Daughter
3. The Queen's Captive
4. The Queen's Gamble
5. Blood Between Queens
6. The Queen's Exiles
7. The Traitor's Daughter
I've also written four thrillers, including "Entrapped," winner of the IndieBrag Gold Medallion.
As a story coach and mentor, I have launched many writers on the path toward published success. For information about my online programs, master classes, and manuscript evaluation service please visit my website: www.BarbaraKyle.com.
Happy reading!
Warm regards,
Barbara Kyle
