Heir to the British royal family’s throne, beautiful Princess Divine loves Joshua, a farmer and All Black rugby player. Her mother, Queen Liliana, is not amused. A blue-blood Englishman is preferred. In 2022 Divine and her lover, Joshua, flee to Proud, formerly New Zealand. When her father, King Filip, attempts to bring her back, English soldiers and Māori warriors battle at a Māori pa (fortress) in Proud. Divine marries and becomes queen but cannot conceive an heir, imperilling her family’s grip on the monarchy. Adding to Divine’s woes, the British Commonwealth is collapsing, and Australia has nefarious designs on Proud. Will Divine abdicate? Who would replace her? What dark secrets inhabit All Blacks culture? Divine’s Choice explores the character evolution of two pampered royals who fall in love with men from starkly different cultures. A timely historical saga that wittily parodies English royalty and its rugby equivalent, the New Zealand All Blacks, as they are assailed by the winds of change.
