Sinopse

Intrigue, espionage, and romance collide in this gripping historical mystery set during the Irish struggle for independence at the turn of the 20th century.

As underground revolutionaries in Dublin fight against British rule, Geraldine Moore and her spirited friend Jill find themselves caught in a dangerous game of love and loyalty. When a mysterious French woman arrives in their circle, her presence threatens their revolutionary cell and their closest relationships. As British forces tighten their grip on Dublin, Geraldine finds herself torn between her dedication to the cause and her growing feelings for the enigmatic Dr O'Connor. Meanwhile, her comrades Anthony and Desmond face a test of their brotherhood that could lead to the ultimate sacrifice. Through shocking twists and heartbreaking turns, Geraldine and Jill must fight to expose a traitor and secure freedom for both their cause and their loved ones.

A penetrating look at a pivotal time in Irish history, The Walk of a Queen seamlessly weaves friendship, faith and romance with a propulsive espionage plot. Meticulously researched and breathlessly paced, this classic novel is perfect for fans of historical thrillers and anyone fascinated by the untold stories of Ireland's battle for freedom.

    Margaret Gabrielle Vere Campbell was born on 1st November 1885 on Hayling Island in Hampshire.  
     
    Her childhood was fraught with problems, her alcoholic father left early in her life and was later found dead on a London Street. Life thereafter was poverty with an uncaring mother. 
     
    However, her talents took her to the Slade School of Fine Art and later to study in Paris.  
     
    Her first fiction, written at a mere 16, was a violent medieval historical novel, ‘The Viper of Milan’. Initially rejected by several publishers it went on to become a best-seller  
     
    After this her prolific writings were the main financial support for the family.  Her literary output numbered over 150 volumes, mainly under the pseudonym of Marjorie Bowen but she also used the names Joseph Shearing, George R Preedy, John Winch, Robert Paye and Margaret Campbell.  Within this output she assigned the pseudonyms to the various genres she worked across, from Historical fiction to supernatural short stories.  
     
    Perhaps her best known work is the 1909 book ‘Black Magic’, a Gothic horror novel about a medieval witch. 
     
    Several of her works were also adapted into films.   
     
    She was married twice.  The first to Zefferino Emilio Constanza (they had two children), who died of tuberculosis, and then to Arthur L Long (and another two children) 
     
    Marjorie Bowen died on 23rd December 1952 at St Charles Hospital in North Kensington, London after suffering serious concussion from a fall in her bedroom.  She was 67.

    Wuthering Heights is an 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell. It concerns two families of the landed gentry living on the West Yorkshire moors, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and their turbulent relationships with Earnshaw's adopted son, Heathcliff. It was influenced by Romanticism and Gothic fiction. 
     
    Wuthering Heights is now considered a classic of English literature, but contemporaneous reviews were polarized. It was controversial for its depictions of mental and physical cruelty, and for its challenges to Victorian morality, and religious and societal values. Emily Jane Brontë was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature.
