Tudor Rose by W.H. Doyle 
Published by: Month9Books | Publication date: April 9th 2019
Genres: Historical, Young Adult

Synopsis:
    In 16th-century England, two teenage best friends find themselves on an exciting journey from the country to the Queen’s court in the hope of being named ladies-in-waiting. But Sybille and Rose soon discover they aren’t the only girls who have their sights set on attending Her Majesty. The girls must compete against worldly and cunning opponents, among them mean-girl Avis and her entourage of back-stabbing co-horts, tipping the balance in their already-tenuous friendship.
    Soon, the grand hall is more like the hallway of a prestigious finishing school, with girls fighting for the attention of a dashing, young earl, amid parties fueled by drinking and indiscriminate relations. As the tension between Sybille and Avis heats up, the focus on Rose wanes, allowing her to turn her attention to more important matters – like getting close enough to the Queen to learn her secrets.
    But being close to the Queen is not without its challenges. And when rumors of Rose’s influence make their way around the castle, no one, not even the Queen, will be safe.

EXCERPT #2:

By early evening, the palace breathed that delicious sigh it always did when the monarch had vacated the household. An air of relief swept through the grounds and the apartments, blowing the young people out of the shadows. They emerged and descended upon the abandoned masque, which had been set up in the palace’s largest courtyard, like ravenous locusts on a vulnerable and abundant crop.
