Less than a month ago, on this blog, I shared news of the most recent historical novel from TONY RICHES: Queen Anna, the first book in his Tony’s Stuart Queens Trilogy. And here I am again today, delighted to be joining The Coffee Pot Book Club to throw the spotlight on Queen Anna once again.
Queen Anna is the story of Princess Anna of Denmark, who sailed to Scotland to marry King James VI, as a young woman of fifteen. Life for the young princess did not go smoothly, which I suppose was common enough for royals in the 16th century, but Anna is not a woman to be taken lightly!

What is the book about?
A crown won in the eye of a storm. A queen who refuses to be broken…
Princess Anna of Denmark sails for Scotland to marry King James VI, but storms ravage her fleet, igniting a deadly obsession with witchcraft in her new home. Arriving in a strange and paranoid court, Anna finds her new husband’s bed is a treacherous place.
Surrounded by whispering courtiers and shifting alliances, Anna refuses to remain a passive pawn. When the court takes her children to raise them away from her, the young queen draws her line in the sand. From the windswept castles of Scotland to the glittering, dangerous English court, Anna is restored to her rightful place in history.
