My Heart My Blood: A Greystoke Legacy Volume

Picture
Historical Fiction Medieval Tudor Romance

History remembers the victors.
Fiction honours the hearts that made it possible.
​
1513: Gilsland: In the shadow of Flodden’s tragic clash, where Scottish heroism met English might.

Lady Elizabeth Talbot and William Dacrae, heir to the baronies of Greystoke and Dacrae are entwined in the vibrant, artistically charged courts of dowager Queen Margaret Tudor.

As allegiances and the centre of faith shift across the Anglo Scottish borderlands, they balance loyalty, loss and hope with faith, courage and wit.

Adventure, mischief and tender moments thread through the harsh realities of war and fragile peace, as legacy is forged in the crucible of personal sacrifice.

Meticulously researched and grounded in historical truth, this clean romance reimagines the plausible yet fictional lives of forebears—set against the turbulent backdrop of Tudor England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Historical Fiction Medieval Tudor Romance

Release date: 28.08.26

A new villain. An ancient story. Old grudges.
An ancient book, an enemy's lies.
A love that lasts through the generations.
Do you remember your first love?

Lord William 3rd Baron Dacrae and 7th Baron Greystoke has been betrayed by men who want his lands.

The land may have something to say about that.

How did William learn loyalty, and have the support of the most powerful man and woman in England and Scotland?

William learned to love well, but would he be able to forgive completely and rise above accusation and betrayal, stronger and wiser or would he be crushed and be forced leave his lands forever? Death comes to us all. Would it overtake him?

Meticulously researched. Vibrant and relatable characters set in Tudor England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
