'Through Margueriteโ€™s searing internal monologue, Arnopp offers not just a glimpse into the psyche of a warrior queen, but a fully realized portrait of grief transmuted into memory and rage.' #Review

My next novel is written in a genre that I don't normally read but I wanted to give it a try: historical fantasy. We are transported to 15th century Italy with art and magic. Graceless Heart by Isabel Ibanez.

Up today on my newsletter, I turn a look at the death of Owen Tudor, summarily executed by the Yorkists in his 60s. Son and grandson of rebels, husband of a queen, father to earls, he was remembered in death as 'a gallant and blameless man'. Followers can read now.

As the horses fought to pull the carriage through the deepening snow, the wheels heavy as they accumulated more and more weight, Charlotteโ€™s answering light laugh caught, her breath caught, and it grew heavier too. Her fingers wound through Delinaโ€™s, body turned inward to cushion her against the carriageโ€™s rock with her own strength and softness.

Then she turned farther in, and farther, hitching her knee up to the seat in an awkward attempt to gather all of Delina, everywhere, into her arms. Her cheek fell against Delinaโ€™s shoulder, her face burrowed into her neck.

In moments she went from laughter to a silent, wavering sob.

โ€œWhat is it, dear one, what?โ€ murmured Delina, conjuring sweetness out of a life had had held little, for neither at home, school, or Faircombe had she ever heard any endearments.

โ€œMarriages like that make me glad we canโ€™t marry,โ€ Charlotte answered through stifled laughing tears. Letting the words out let her quiet a little. She slid both arms around Delina, cuddling her tight. โ€œBut I would never leave you, Del. I might be impossible too, but I want to spend every day with you, every night, and I hope you never tire of me, as it would be so much easier to put me aside than it is for Lord Fenlow.โ€

โ€œNo no, Charlotte, hush,โ€ and Delina burrowed closer, her arms clasping around Charlotteโ€™s waist in return. โ€œAnnabelle is mean. You have never been cruel, not to me, not to anyone.โ€

โ€œBut Iโ€™m careless, and if I ever hurt your feelingsโ€”โ€

โ€œShh, shh,โ€ was all Delina could say, twisting a little in Charlotteโ€™s arms to capture her kiss.

There was no one outside the misty, unclear glassine panels to see, no one to identify them in the coachโ€™s dark when outside silent white snow veiled them so thickly.
