VEH Masters was born and grew up on a farm just outside of St. Andrews in Scotland. She's been fascinated by the siege of St Andrews Castle ever since her history teacher took the class on a visit, which included going down the siege tunnel dug out of rock and peering into the bottle dungeon where Cardinal Beaton's body is said to have been kept, pickled in salt, for over a year. When she learned that the group who took the castle and held it for over 14 months, resisting the many attempts to re-take it, called themselves the Castilians, she knew, even then, it was the perfect title for the tale of the siege. The second in series, The Conversos, which picks up to the hour where The Castilians left off, continues the dramatic adventures of Bethia and Will in Antwerp and Berwick, England. The Apostates, the third in series follows our protagonists across Europe, through Geneva to where they eventually seek sanctuary in Venice. The fourth in series will be published in November 2023.
