Not since December have I been able to feature so many books in a sneak peek! And this is just a sampling of what publishers have in store for royal watchers next month. (As always, publication dates are subject to change.)

For the full list of new royalty books, visit the Royalty.nu Books page in October. (You can go there right now to see all of August and September's new books.)
If I could only read one of the books listed above, I would have to pick So Great a King because of my addiction to books about Henry VIII. Which book would you choose?
