Fourteen-year-old Frances Howard is trickrd into falling in love with the handsome Robin Carr, ‘The King’s Favorite’, so a certain member of court can control the Throne.

There is one problem though – Frances is already married.

Frances and Robin, however, fall madly and deeply in love, shocking everyone and throwing the plot into chaos.

Caught up in a storm of lies, betrayal, witchcraft, and murder, Frances and Robin remain oblivious to the dangers around them and are willing to do anything to be together, including kill anyone who tries to get in their way.

Set during the turbulent reign of King James I, ‘The King’s Favourite’ by Marjorie Bowen takes readers behind the scenes of court intrigue more deadly than the Tudor Court.

‘The King’s Favourite’ is based on the true and shocking story of Frances Howard, an English noblewoman who was the central figure in a famous scandal and murder during the reign of King James I.

Marjorie Bowen was born in 1885 on Hayling Island in Hampshire. She and her sister grew up in poverty, but Bowen was eventually able to study at the Slade School of Fine Art and later in Paris. Her first novel, the violent historical 'The Viper of Milan' (written when she was 16) was rejected by several publishers, who considered it inappropriate for a young woman to have written such a novel. It went on to become a best-seller when eventually published.

Her total output numbers over 150 volumes with the bulk of her work under the 'Bowen' pseudonym. She also wrote under the names Joseph Shearing, George R. Preedy, John Winch, Robert Paye and Margaret Campbell. Bowen died on 22 December 1952, after suffering serious concussion as a result of a fall in her bedroom.
