About the Book: In The King’s Witches, set in 1589, Princess Anna of Denmark must endure a one-year “trial marriage”—a handfasting period—to prove her worthiness as Scotland’s future queen. As she navigates court expectations and forbidden attraction to Lord Henry, her companion, the devout lady-in-waiting Kirsten, harbors her own secret agenda. Meanwhile, Jura, a North Berwick maid skilled in her late mother’s healing charms, flees to Edinburgh only to become ensnared in the escalating witchcraft hysteria sweeping the capital and threatening the new queen. Three women, each with different stakes, are drawn together amid the paranoia of royal politics, superstition, and survival.
