Hampton Court Palace 1530s

‘The Brandon blood is dark with lies and treachery and as it flows through my heart, my vow is this: they will all pay.’

Anne Brandon has always understood the power of a king’s patronage and, though the court of Henry VIII is a dangerous place for women, as the daughter of the king’s best friend, Anne feels safer than most. But Anne’s husband Lord Powis is tiring of her childlessness and when Henry VIII begins plotting to rid himself of a queen in his quest for an heir, suddenly Anne’s life is in danger. And as whispers of the name of her friend Anne Boleyn get ever louder, there is peril in every loose word, every forbidden conversation.

Pembrokshire Present Day

Caroline Harvey has spent years helping her grandfather, the reclusive bestselling novelist Dexter Blake, hide from his legions of fans in his home on the Pembrokshire coast. After his death, the vultures begin to circle Dexter’s fortune. When Caroline’s ownership of the house she has inherited is called into question, her research into its history reveals it was once owned by Anne Brandon who had sought refuge there. Intrigued, Caroline is determined to discover why Anne fled the court of Henry VIII.

Two women divided by centuries but joined by secrets and courage. And when a twist in their histories threatens them both with the same fate – losing the man they love – their revenge will be the same too. Because there’s no one mightier than a woman underestimated or more powerful than the need to save those they love.

Bestselling author Alexandra Walsh returns with an enchanting and utterly gripping historical mystery. Unfolding across centuries, this spellbinding tale weaves the secrets of a Tudor court survivor with the discoveries of a modern woman determined to uncover the truth. Perfect for fans of Philippa Gregory and Anne O’Brien!

Absplitely Phenomenal. Walsh does not disappoint. I love the connection to the original books. Already waiting on the next one!

Outstanding Read

I pre-ordered this book and was not disappointed! Revisiting Tudor Court one again from yet another perspective! We even got a glimpse of Marquess House and a few of its characters which thrilled me! I loved it. More please.....!

Satisfying Addition to the Series

Definitely strong enough to be a stand alone, it was lovely to hear mention of previously visited characters. The narration is pitch perfect and soothingly captivating listen for these lazy days of winter.
