About the Book A Life Renewed
Title: A Life Renewed
Series: Secrets of the Queens #1
Author: Olivia Rae
Publisher: HopeKnight Press
Release Date: April 2, 2020
Genre: Christian Historical Romance
In 1554, Lady Jane Grey, “The Nine Days’ Queen” was executed for high treason. But what if, instead of feeling the blade on her neck she secretly survived?
Escaping execution, Lady Jane hides as a peasant girl in a principality in Germany. She loves the simple life and never wants to return to England. But her benefactor, a power-hungry German prince, wants to march on London and place her on the English throne again, thereby increasing his dominance in Europe. If she doesn’t agree with his plan, her beloved childhood nurse will be put to death. Desperate for help, Jane must put her trust in the mysterious spy Asher Hayes.
Asher Hayes is done rounding up Protestants for “Bloody Mary” and wants nothing more than to live a quiet life as a farmer and expunge the blood of many from his hands. Except Queen Mary isn’t done with him yet. She throws his father, mother, and sister into prison on false charges in order to force him to accept one last mission – find and kill Lady Jane Grey. But when Asher discovers Lady Jane isn’t a threat to the throne as he believed her to be, he faces a devastating decision – does he sacrifice his family for the woman who reigns in his heart?

My Thoughts on A Life Renewed
I loved this book. It has such mystery and suspense but yet also a historical aspect to it. This is one of those books that you look at the cover and you’re already amazed at the book. The cover is gorgeous and reading about what the book was going to have in it I knew I was going to want to carve out a chunk of quiet time to get into it.
I’m one of those people that love a good historical fiction novel. This is one of those. It takes the life of Lady Jane Grey and extrapolates on it. You learn history but then you also get to take some poetic license with history. This is fun! I love history and playing the what-if game.
Lady Jane Grey is an important person in the history of England and really should have more written about her. I don’t think most people really even know who she is!
I enjoyed this book and highly recommend you give it a read. You just might fall in love with Asher Hayes and need to do more research on Lady Jane Grey.
