Wyndham Saga Books in Order

The Wyndham Saga is a compact, two‑book offshoot of Bertrice Small’s larger historical universe, focusing on one English family whose fortunes are tangled up with the Tudor court. While the books connect loosely to the O’Malley novels, they stand well on their own as sweeping romances about mothers and daughters trying to keep both honor and happiness in a treacherous age.

The story begins with Blaze Wyndham. Blaze is sent to the royal court as a young woman, where her striking looks and quick mind draw dangerous attention. She’s pulled into the orbit of a king who expects obedience and a nobleman who offers a different kind of life. Court favor brings wealth and security but also gossip, jealousy, and the constant threat that one misstep could ruin her and everyone who depends on her.

Love, Remember Me moves to the next generation through Blaze’s daughter, Nyssa Wyndham. Serving as a lady‑in‑waiting to one of Henry VIII’s queens, Nyssa becomes a pawn in other people’s schemes. When the king decides she should warm his bed, plotters intervene, and she wakes to discover her reputation—and her future—tied to notorious rake Varian de Winter. What begins as an enforced marriage slowly turns into something more complicated, especially as Nyssa witnesses both the glitter and the brutality of Henry’s court.

Both books share familiar Bertrice Small hallmarks: meticulously researched gowns and feasts, candid bedroom scenes, and heroines who learn to make hard choices in a world where men hold most of the formal power. Yet Blaze and Nyssa are not simply victims of their circumstances. Each finds ways to assert herself, protect her children, and negotiate with kings and courtiers who underestimate her.

If you like Tudor‑set romance but want to follow one family across more than one generation, the Wyndham Saga is a concise, satisfying corner of Small’s larger body of work. It’s also a natural bridge between the O’Malley stories and other series set in roughly the same period.
