In March of 1603, as she helps to nurse the dying Queen Elizabeth
of England, Frances Gorges dreams of her parents' country estate,
where she has learned to use flowers and herbs to become a
much-loved healer. She is happy to stay at home when King James of
Scotland succeeds to the throne. His court may be shockingly
decadent, but his intolerant Puritanism sees witchcraft in many of
the old customs--punishable by death. But when her ambitious uncle
forcibly brings Frances to the royal palace, she is a ready target
for the twisted scheming of the Privy Seal, Lord Cecil. As a dark
campaign to destroy both King and Parliament gathers pace,
culminating in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, Frances is surrounded by
danger, finding happiness only with the King's precocious young
daughter, and with Tom Wintour, the one courtier she feels she can
trust. But is he all that he seems? Acclaimed as a brilliant
historian, Tracy Borman proves with this thrilling debut novel that
she is also a born storyteller.
