To celebrate the release tomorrow of the paperback of D. K. Wilson’s The Traitor’s Mark, Little Brown UK are offering three sets of books as giveaway prizes for Anne Boleyn Files followers.
The giveaway is open internationally and the sets consist of a copy each of The First Horseman and The Traitor’s Mark, both of which are Tudor thrillers based in the reign of Henry VIII. As Alison Weir says, “If you liked Shardlake, you will love this exciting new series”, and I completely agree. You can read my reviews over at our review site – click here.
Both books are inspired by real-life Tudor mysteries – the assassination of Robert Packington in 1536 and the disappearance of Hans Holbein in 1543 – and are gripping thrillers, I really couldn’t put them down. To be in with a chance of winning a set of books, simply comment below saying who or what you’d like to read a Tudor history thriller about. Comment before midnight (UK time) on Wednesday 18th March and three winners will be picked at random and contacted. Only one comment per person will be counted in the draw. Good luck!
