A Pledge of Better Times

A sweeping tale of ambition, treachery, and passion incorporating 17th century historical figures, royalty, and events.

For generations Lady Diana de Vereâ€™s family loyally served Englandâ€™s crown. But after King Charles IIâ€™s untimely death, her father firmly opposes James IIâ€™s tyranny. Charles Beauclerk, Duke of St. Albansâ€”the late kingâ€™s bastard son by actress Nell
Gwynâ€”also rebels against his newly crowned uncleâ€™s manipulation.

Political and religious turmoil bring revolution and yet another coronation before Charles returns
to from war to claim his promised bride. As companion to Queen Mary Stuart, Diana
has followed her de Vere forbears into royal service. She expects Charles to abandon
his military career after marriage, but he proves unwilling to join the ranks of the courtiers he despises and mistrusts.

In palace corridors and within their own household the young duke and duchess confront betrayals, scandals, and tragedies that threaten to divide them. And neither the privileges of birth nor proximity to the throne can ensure their security, their advancementâ€”or their happiness.
