Romance Historical
n this breathtaking start to a series, a secret society of young women make up Elizabeth Iβs most trusted royal guard. God Save the Queenβor the Maids will. Orphan Meg Fellowes makes her living picking pocketsβuntil she steals from the wrong nobleman. Instead of rotting in prison like she expected, sheβs whisked away to the court of Queen Elizabeth and pressed into royal service, where she joins four other remarkable girls in the Maids of Honor, the Queenβs secret society of protectors. Megβs natural abilities as a spy prove useful in this time of unrest. The Spanish Court is visiting, and with them come devious plots and hidden political motives. As threats to the kingdom begin to mount, Meg canβt deny her growing attraction to one of the dashing Spanish courtiers. But itβs hard to trust her heart in a place where royal formalities and masked balls hide the truth: Not everyone is who they appear to be. With danger lurking around every corner, can she stay aliveβand protect the crown?
