The Lost Queen — Norah Lofts
CAROLINE-MATILDA -- CAPTIVE QUEEN TO A ROYAL MADMAN
She came to the bridal bed half child, half woman, and looked with terror upon the king who barely troubled to mask his contempt for her.
There had been whispers about the, fledgling ruler of Denmark ... about his dark moods, his murderous tantrums, his strange lusts. But no one could speak out against a marriage that united two such powerful kingdoms as England and Denmark.
Bewildered, lonely, and hungry for affection, she turned to the one man who dared to be her friend--the king's physician. He knew the truth, knew that without his warmth and protection Caroline could not survive.
He became her refuge ... and her lover. .. and her greatest danger.
