Elizabeth Keysian is a multi-award winning, USA Today bestselling author of heart-pounding Regency romances, set mostly in the West of England. She has completed a unique series for Dragonblade Publishing called Trysts and Treachery, which is set in the Tudor era. Though primarily a writer of romance, she loves to put a bit of mystery, adventure, and suspense into her stories, and refuses to let her characters take themselves too seriously.

Elizabeth likes to write from experience, not easy when her works range from the medieval to the Victorian eras. However, her passion for re-enactment has helped, as have the many years she spent working in museums and British archaeology. If you find some detail in her work you’ve never come across befor ...more

Lord of Deception — Now Available as an Audiobook 🎧

I’m delighted to share some exciting news with readers who love intrigue, romance, and the deceptive glamour of the Tudor court.

Lord of Deception — the first book in my Trysts and Treachery series — is now available as an audiobook.

Set against the backdrop of Elizabethan England, Lord of Deception is a story of hidden identities, divided loyalties, and a love that could prove fatal.
