Publisher's summary

Can she tread a dangerous line between love and duty?

Raven-haired and fiercely independent, Joan Guildford has always remained true to herself.

As lady-in-waiting and confidante to Queen Elizabeth, wife of Henry VII, Joan understands royal patronage is vital if she and her husband, Sir Richard, are to thrive in the volatile atmosphere of court life.

But Tudor England is in mourning following the death of the prince of Wales and within a year, the queen herself. With Prince Henry now heir to the throne, the court murmurs with the sound of conspiracy. Is the entire Tudor project now at stake, or can young Henry secure the dynasty?

Drawn into the heart of the crisis, Joan’s own life is in turmoil and her future far from secure. She faces a stark choice—be true to her heart and risk everything, or play the dutiful servant and watch her dreams wither and die. For Joan and for Henry’s Kingdom, everything is at stake....

How could this be the same author of the Agincourt court bride

Even by chapter 5 I was not engaged or connected with any of the characters. It was extremely boring, picked up a little 3/4 of the way into the book. But I wish I wouldn’t of wasted my time. The same author wrote a very good book the “Agincourt bride”. It’s very hard to believe these two books are written by the same author! I don’t usually do negative reviews I just couldn’t believe how boring this book was and wanted to let other people know.
