Book Description
Excerpt from The Wrongs of Royalty: Being, a Continuation of the Royal Wanderer, or Memoirs of Her Present Majesty Queen Caroline; Containing a Complete and Minute Account of Her Journey From St. Omer to Calais; And From Dover to London; Her Gratifying Reception, Speeches, &C Now, in regard to the deposition of Lady Douglas, we would wish merely to observe, considering that the admirable letter of the Princess, which we next lay before our readers, and which is marked (x) is a most complete, triumphant, and irrefragable exposition and de tection of the evident improbabilities and gross falsehoods contained in that deposition - that the following remarks naturally suggest them selves to every reader of common sense - In the first. Place, the account which is given of the commencement of the Princess's acquaintance with her Ladyship is at once sufficient to make every one conclude, that either the account itself is false, or that the circumstances which are said to have so immediately followed upon it, are false. The Princess is represented forcibly to have obtruded her company upon Lady D. Who with her husband, were in one fortnight after, invited to Montague House. Seven months having elapsed, her present Majesty is said to have voluntarily dicovered her own situation to this very woman whom she had herself selected.

Book Description
The laws which govern the marriages of the British royal family have led to heartbreak, farce and confusion, and are unfit for the twenty-first century. In an era that values human rights and free choice, there is little certainty over questions as fundamental as the effect of marrying a Roman Catholic, or of marrying without the Queen's consent. Question marks still hang over the legal basis for royal civil marriage. Obscure acts of Parliament have threatened to render members of the royal family illegitimate and prevented others from following their hearts. Drawing on a wide range of sources including once-secret files in the UK's National Archives, The Rights & Wrongs of Royal Marriage recounts episodes from the eighteenth century right down to the present day that would not look out of place in Yes, Minister or The Mikado. Professor Rebecca Probert, the leading authority on the marriage law of England and Wales, is as characteristically clear when explaining the complexities of royal marriage law as she is in her other groundbreaking studies. Her prose is concise and elegant, and full of historical anecdotes that will have royalists and republicans alike laughing aloud and wide-eyed with astonishment.

Book Description
Two sisters must fight to the death to win the crown in this first installment of a gripping, action-packed duology set in an ancient North African-inspired fantasy world. Now in paperback. Sixteen-year-old Eva is a princess, born with the magick of blood and marrow--a dark and terrible magick that hasn't been seen for generations in the vibrant but fractured country of Myre. Its last known practitioner was Queen Raina, who toppled the native royalty and massacred thousands, including her own sister, eight generations ago, thus beginning the Rival Heir tradition. Living in Raina's long and dark shadow, Eva must now face her older sister, Isa, in a battle to the death if she hopes to ascend to the Ivory Throne--because in the Queendom of Myre only the strongest, most ruthless rulers survive. A River of Royal Blood is an enthralling debut set in a lush ancient North African inspired fantasy world that subtly but powerfully challenges our notions of power, history, and identity.
