Philippa Gregory Katherine of Aragon is betrothed at the age of three to Prince Arthur, son and heir of Henry VII of England. She is raised to be Princess of Wales, and knows it is her destiny to rule that far-off, wet, cold land.

But when the studious young man dies, she is left to make her own future: how can she now be queen, and found a dynasty?
