Thriller | Historical
The next page-turner in the award-winning Joanna Stafford
series takes place in the heart of the Tudor court, as the
gutsy former novice risks everything to defy the most
powerful men of her era. After her priory in Dartford is closed—collateral damage in
tyrannical King Henry VIII’s quest to overthrow the Catholic
Church—Joanna resolves to live a quiet and honorable life
weaving tapestries, shunning dangerous quests and
conspiracies. Until she is summoned to Whitehall Palace,
where her tapestry weaving has drawn the King’s attention. Joanna is uncomfortable serving the King whom she has twice
attempted to overthrow—unbeknownst to him. She fears for her
life in a court bursting with hidden agendas and a casual
disregard for the virtues she holds dear. And her suspicions
are confirmed when an assassin attempts to kill her moments
after arriving at Whitehall. Struggling to stay ahead of her most formidable enemy yet,
an unknown one, she becomes entangled in dangerous court
politics. Her dear friend Catherine Howard is rumored to be
one of the King’s mistresses. Joanna is determined to
protect young, beautiful, naïve Catherine from becoming the
King’s next wife and possibly, victim. Set in a world of royal banquets and feasts, tournament
jousts, ship voyages, and Tower Hill executions, this
thrilling tale finds Joanna in her most dangerous situation
yet, as she attempts to decide the life she wants to live:
nun or wife, spy or subject, rebel or courtier. Joanna must
finally choose her fate.
