Books like The Queen's daughter by Suzanne Carlisle Crowley
Kat has spent her life in a small village, surrounded by her family—Grace, Anna, and the gentle farmer Christian—and by the whispered dangers of wolves outside the town. Though she loves the simple work of embroidery, Kat yearns for something beyond the village’s borders.
A stranger’s arrival brings the mystery of Kat’s birth to light. In one night, her destiny compels her to seek a different life. Kat journeys to London, where her skill with the needle captures the notice of Queen Elizabeth I—and the wary eyes of the court’s own wolves.
As she navigates the intrigue of the royal court, Kat uncovers truths she would have never imagined, facing danger, identity, and the choice to leave the only home she has ever known.
