It is May 1560. As sinister storm clouds gather overhead,
twenty-six-year-old Queen Elizabeth dispatches William
Cecil, her most trusted adviser, to Scotland for crucial
negotiations. Handsome, ambitious Lord Robert Dudley is at
her side. But their leisurely midsummer idyll is cut short
when the court’s master lutenist plunges to his death from a
parapet beneath the queen’s window. The loyal retainers of
Elizabeth’s privy council do not accept the official verdict
of accidental death. Their fears are borne out when another
tragedy rocks the realm, and points the way to a conspiracy
to bring down Elizabeth and seize the throne. As ill winds
of treachery swirl around the court, and suspicion falls on
those within Elizabeth’s intimate circle, a vengeful enemy
slips from the shadows...a traitorous usurper who would be
sovereign.
With The Twylight Tower, Karen Harper
brings a legendary era to life, drawing us into an
intoxicating world of majesty and mayhem, political intrigue
and adventure...where danger is everywhere...and where a
young queen journeys to greatness in the long shadow of her
bloodstained past.
