The 48

by Donna Hosie
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
Henry VIII's Tudor court meets time-traveling teen assassins in this riveting thriller.
Twins Charlie and Alex Douglas are the newest time travelers recruited to the Forty-Eight, a clandestine military group in charge of manipulating history. The brothers are tasked with preventing Henry VIII from marrying Jane Seymour and arrive in 1536 feeling confident, but the Tudor court is not all banquets and merriment: it is a deep well of treachery, torture, lust, intrigue, and suspicion.
That makes it especially dangerous for young people who refuse to "know their place"—young women who might, say, want to marry for love instead of status, or young men who would feel free to love each other, if it weren't forbidden. Told in alternating perspectives among Charlie, Alex, and sixteen-year-old Lady Margaret, a ladies' maid to Queen Anne Boleyn, The 48 captures the sights, smells, sounds, and hazards of an unhinged Henry VIII's court from the viewpoint of one person who lived that history—and two teens who have been sent to turn it upside down.
Includes an author's note touching on her inspiration for the book and the research she did to bring the Tudor Court to life.
