AVAILABLE NOW
Books
The first book in my latest series has just been released. Allow me to take you back to the late 13th century, where Edward I is getting ready to once and for all crush the Welsh princes. With Edward is his loyal captain, Robert FitzStephan. Robert was twelve when he saw his first battle, has accompanied Edward to the Holy Land and back. His loyalty to the king is absolute—until his new wife places him in a position where it is either betraying her or the king. What will Robert do?
She is dragged back through time to a new life, a new and frightening world. And a new man…
Love. Drama. Heartbreaking loss & heady adventure. Welcome to The Graham Saga!
My best-selling series! Winner of the HNS Indie Book of the Year 2015, plus several other awards!
Welcome to 14th century England, to the world of an inept king, a rebellious baron and an adulterous queen. Welcome to the life of Adam de Guirande, an honourable knight torn apart by his loyalties.
Sometimes, I step out of my historical settings. Like in my new WIP which is a dark, edgy romance.
I return to the world of time-travelling. Join Duncan and Erin as they leap through time!

I’ve decided to present the various IRL peeps in my #NewRelease The Castilian Pomegranate myBook.to/POMEGRANATE by sharing the posts I have previously written about them. Today, I’d like you to meet my favourite Castilian hero (and no, it is not El Cid). I give you Alonso Perez de Guzmán, and boy do I have a soft spot for him – which is why he features prominently in my novel! www.annabelfrage.com/2019/01/30/the-ultimate-sacrifice-of-a-man-his-honour-and-his-son/
My upcoming release, The Castilian Pomegranate, myBook.to/POMEGRANATE has led to a lot of research as I’ve deep-dived into the history of Aragon and Castile. One of the more impressive ladies I encountered was Maria de Molina, Queen of Castile. And yes, she plays a prominent role in my story! ![]()

Temporary exile in medieval Spain is no vacation – in fact, it will be something of a miracle if my protagonists escape unharmed… #histfic #historicalromance available for PREORDER myBook.to/POMEGRANATE
I was actually going to write about the conquest of Valencia in 1238, got distracted into thinking about mushrooms and from mushrooms teh leap is obviously very short to poison and untimely death 🙂

Robert FitzStephan and his wife, Noor, have been temporarily exiled. Officially, they are to travel to the courts of Aragon and Castile as emissaries of Queen Eleanor of England. Unofficially, the queen demands two things: that they abandon Lionel, their foster son, in foreign lands and that they bring back a precious jewel – the Castilian Pomegranate.![]()
Noor would rather chop off a foot than leave Lionel in a foreign land—especially as he’s been entrusted to her by his dead father, the last true prince of Wales. And as to the jewel, stealing it would mean immediate execution. . . ![]()

Spain in 1285 is a complicated place. France has launched a crusade against Aragon and soon enough Robert is embroiled in the conflict, standing side by side with their Aragonese hosts. ![]()
Once in Castile, it is the fearsome Moors that must be fought, with Robert facing weeks separated from his young wife, a wife who is enthralled by the Castilian court—and a particular Castilian gallant. ![]()

Jealousy, betrayal and a thirst for revenge plunge Noor and Robert into life-threatening danger. ![]()
