A Stunning Evocative Novel

I was utterly captivated by Clare Marchant, the talented author of The Queens Spy. Can she navigate the treacherous path between love and duty?

Raven-haired and fiercely independent, Joan Guildford has always remained true to herself. As the lady-in-waiting and confidante to Queen Elizabeth, the wife of Henry VII, Joan understands the importance of royal patronage if she and her husband, Sir Richard, are to thrive in the tumultuous atmosphere of court life.

However, Tudor England is in mourning following the death of the Prince of Wales, and within a year, the queen herself. With Prince Henry now heir to the throne, the court murmurs with the sound of conspiracy. Is the entire Tudor project now at stake, or can young Henry secure the dynasty?

Drawn into the heart of the crisis, Joan's own life is in turmoil, and her future is far from secure. She faces a stark choice: be true to her heart and risk everything, or play the dutiful servant and watch her dreams wither and die. For Joan, and for Henry's Kingdom, everything is at stake.
