Bringing Medieval Royal Women to Life

Kristi Ross is driven by a passion rooted in personal lineage. Her historical journey began when she discovered her direct ancestry to early nobility and royalty from Scotland, England, Ireland, and France—a revelation that sparked a lasting curiosity about the women who forged dynasties but were left forgotten in the margins of history. Through vivid detail and emotional depth, Kristi reclaims their voices and tells the stories that truly shaped the medieval world. 

What drives a queen? Kristi delves into the psychological depth of her characters, blending meticulous research with an authentic voice. Through stories rich with ambition, grief, and fierce resilience, she explores the internal world of royal women and the high-stakes human drama underlying every political maneuver. 

The series currently underway explores the tumultuous rise of the Stewart dynasty through the eyes of its first powerful women. Joan Beaufort, Euphemia Ross, and Annabella Drummond navigated immense political danger, ensuring the survival of their bloodline and securing the future of the Scottish Crown. The first novel is set for release in 2026. Get a deeper look at each queen and their story on the Books page.
