About this listen
In the shadow of civil war and the splintering of a kingdom, two unlikely lives collide.
Born to an unremarkable family and raised in the orchards and meadows of Hertfordshire, spirited Anne Hyde never expected the world to take much notice of her. Yet from the moment she crosses paths with the golden-haired Prince James—second son of King Charles I—her life shifts irrevocably. What begins as a childhood encounter amid the chaos of Oxford grows, through war, exile, loyalty, and longing, into a bond that neither crown nor circumstance can easily break.
As England fractures, Anne must summon a courage she never knew she possessed—facing treachery, family conflict, and the dangerous tides of court. James, caught between duty and desire, struggles to become the man fate demands of him, even as the world around him turns hostile.
Through battles and betrayals, whispered promises and impossible choices, Anne and James tells the sweeping, intimate story of a love that defied every rule of its age—a love powerful enough to challenge a kingdom, and tender enough to alter two destinies forever.
