Lucy Walter was no stranger to conflict after watching her parents fight like cats, only to become the target of her father’s fists. She fell in love as the bloody Civil War ripped England and her family apart. She was with her lover when he learnt of his father’s execution, only to read that the death warrant was signed by a relative. Then she had fight to save her children from being dragged away, and her family being destroyed.

Charles II's Secret Queen is the true story of court intrigues, scandal, and seduction. It is the tale of a woman’s fight for survival against the odds, and the thin line between loyalty and betrayal. Of a mother who had to choose between her king, her lover, and her children.

Charles II's Secret Queen is based on new research, lost manuscripts, and fresh insights. To some, Lucy Walter is Charles II's treacherous whore, she’s the villain without a voice, and even less virtue. After three centuries of bias, it's time to let Lucy be heard. It’s time to answer the question: Was Lucy an Infamous Mistress or Forsaken Queen? When you know the answer, your perspective will change forever. Reader beware, this book is treason.

About Stephen M Carter

Stephen M. Carter is more historical detective than your traditional historian. By working only with primary sources, Stephen peels back the layers of time, dispels myths, and clears the fog of academia to create a forensic timeline of the subject. This attention to detail delivers the gritty truth regardless of how far this takes his writing from the well-trodden path. The result may take the reader out of their historical comfort zone. Born in England, Stephen lives as an exile in Normandy, France and focuses his research on the reign of the Stuarts. Lucy is his fifth book.
