'An outstanding page-turner . . . historical fiction at its
absolute best' - Alison Weir 'An engaging heroine . . . and
Borman's depiction of Villiers, with all his ruthless charisma, is
striking' - The Sunday Times Frances Gorges has happiness within
her grasp. King James would rather be hunting stags with her
beloved husband Thomas than chasing witches, which means her
medical skills and herbal knowledge no longer hang over her like a
death sentence. Her family is growing and their estates are secure.
But a new arrival at court brings intrigue, jealousy and danger.
George Villiers is a young man with the face of an angel and the
cunning heart of a devil. Soon James is besotted by this
charismatic new lover. Former favourites are crushed with scheming
and lies. Thomas's life is made a misery and Frances is back under
suspicion as Villiers plots to marry her friend Katherine Manners
and seize her fortune. Appalled at the courtier's greed and the
King's weakness, Frances finds herself drawn back to her old friend
Sir Walter Raleigh and his last, desperate plot to see a Catholic
monarch on the throne. And then her troubles really begin . . .
'Unexpected twists and turns with every page . . . masterfully
crafted' - Nicola Tallis 'Lots of fascinating detail and insight
into James's backstabbing court . . . enjoyable' - The Times 'Lush,
wholly convincing and utterly gripping. Fact and fiction have
rarely been blent so seamlessly' - Sarah Gristwood
