The Tudors series is a departure from Anne Gracie’s usual Regency setting, taking readers back to sixteenth-century England and the Tudor court. The three novellas, “The King, the Queen, and the Mistress” (2007), “King Takes Queen” (2008), and “Thy Will Be Done” (2008), explore romance amid the political intrigues and religious upheavals of the Tudor era.
These shorter works show Gracie’s ability to write convincingly outside her primary time period. The Tudor court provides a backdrop of higher stakes and greater danger than the Regency ballroom, and the novellas take advantage of that tension. Fans of Gracie’s Regency novels may enjoy seeing her apply her character-driven approach to a very different historical setting.
