Historical
London, 1527.
Marry or serve: for Honor Larke, the
choice is clear. Unwilling to perish of boredom as an
obedient wife, she leaves the home of her ward, the
brilliant Sir Thomas More, to attend Her Majesty, Queen
Catherine of Aragon. But life at Henry VIII's court holds
more than artifice for an intelligent observer, and Honor
knows how to watch--and when to act... Angered by the humiliation heaped upon her mistress as Henry
cavorts with Anne Boleyn and presses Rome for a divorce,
Honor volunteers to carry letters to the Queen's allies.
It's a risky game, but Honor is sure she's playing it
well--until she's proven wrong. Richard Thornleigh may cut a
dashing figure at court, but Honor isn't taken in by his
reckless charm. Only later does Honor realize that Richard
has awakened something within her--and that he, too, has
something to hide... For the King's actions are merely one knot in a twisted web
that stretches across Europe, ensnaring everyone from the
lowliest of peasants to the most powerful of nobles. Swept
away in a tide of intrigue and danger, the Queen's lady is
about to learn everything: about pride, passion, greed--and
the conscience of the king...
