Grey days leave hope for bright dawns in the ninth installment of Whitehall, an episodic royal tale full of true history and sensual intrigue, new from Serial Box Publishing. It’s high time for a holiday when an unseasonably cold summer leaves spirits suppressed and Catherine in ill health. Empty kingdom coffers and nefarious gossip and accusations do little to raise moral which means only one thing: a vacation is in order. This episode is brought to you by Barbara Samuel who encourages all to take in the waters. "The Marriage of True Minds" continues the 13-part serial, Whitehall, presented by Serial Box. Intrigue, romance, and scandal fill the palace halls in this historical tale, collaboratively written by Liz Duffy Adams, Delia Sherman, Barbara Samuel, Madeleine Robins, Sarah Smith, and Mary Robinette Kowal. She who would be queen must win the love of a king—and a country. Whitehall is set in the 17th century court of King Charles II and focuses on his queen, Portuguese princess Catherine of Braganza. Her journey to find her place as the foreign wife in a court riddled with political and religious intrigue – not to mention the many mistresses of Charles the "Merry Monarch” – is a tale of perseverance only a true queen could endure. Love mingles with betrayal before a sensual renaissance of art, culture, and sex in this lush historical serial.
