Whitehall Palace, England, 1539

When Catherine Howard arrives at the court of King Henry VIII to be a maid of honour in the household of the new queen, Anne of Cleves, she has no idea of the fate that awaits her.

Catching the king's fancy, she finds herself caught up in her uncle's ambition to get a Howard heir to the throne. Terrified by the ageing king after the fate that befell her cousin, Anne Boleyn, Catherine begins to fear for her life...

Pembrokeshire, Wales, 2018

Dr Perdita Rivers receives news of the death of her estranged grandmother, renowned Tudor historian Mary Fitzroy. Mary inexplicably cut all contact with Perdita and her twin sister, Piper, but she has left them Marquess House, her vast estate in Pembrokeshire.

Perdita sets out to unravel their grandmother's motives for abandoning them, and is drawn into the mystery of an ancient document in the archives of Marquess House, a collection of letters and diaries claiming the records of Catherine Howard's execution were falsified...

I really enjoyed this book. Lots of twists and turns, drama and intrigue. There should be a part 2.

Excellent read....

This will be short and sweet, typing on my phone. Absolutely enjoyed this book. Kept grabbing my phone to continue listening, even while outside. It is not predictable and it is not a bodice ripper. The tale stands on its own with. a unique look at Catherine Howard and an alternative story. . Treat yourself and have a listen. I'm off to book #2!

Different perspective on an old presumption

I really enjoyed this book. Thinking it was like most in this genre (which I love), it became unexpectedly enthralling. The navigation thru the story as well as the excellent narration puts this in one of my most entertaining reads. If you are a fan of the Tudor era, I highly recommend this gem of a tale and can't wait to read the next.

Surprisingly Brilliant

I really enjoyed this story. Far fetched? Yep. But then, so much of legit Tudor history seems far fetched, so why not?

I’m excited to start the second book.

A fun historical what if.

I hesitate to listen to this story. Love all things Tudor related, but Catherine Howard is not among my favorites. So I took a chance...so happy I did!!! This is now by far one of my favorite books can't wit to listen to the next one.

Must read!

Fascinating story line!

You can almost believe it is true, all woven together with history. Great transition from present to past. And then tying up everything. Can hardly wait to start next book.

Love Tudor History

This spin in the Victorian Henry the VIII Era really gets your mind thinking. It vividly brings to the foreground the roles and few options available to women even those from powerful families. Romance novels are always so keen to romantize and gloss over the real challenges women had to simply accept and overcome. This book while not even close to a romance book does bring forward, what we in the model age, would consider the very backwards thinking of the roles between men and women. I appreciate the time research this authauthor took to get some critcal and not so critical historical notes correct. This really gave the story enough truth while weaving her creative license so the reader is entrapped in a wonderful mystery. Even though I was able to guess a few things would happen I'm left wanting to know more because, while this chapter may be closed, the story is just getting started. I'm on the the next book in the series!

Great imaginative world

i didn't think i would enjoy this book as i am more into psychological thrillers, however i enjoyed this book. i was not a fan through part one or two but by part three i was sucked in. the narrator is a great performer you would almost assume there is more than one reader. I've already bought the second book in the series and cannot wait to get started!

great read

Wow, what good story. It can be fun to pretend that things could have been different. The real zinger is the idea that people can't trust their governments,,, One little aside, that nickname=Perks drove me insane.

Love the story

I truly enjoyed this story, the characters are quite well rounded. There are some points where as a fan of history, the revelations seem obvious and like it is written out for every level of understanding, and can be a bit tedious. I listened to this story straight through and started in on the second book with no pause in between. I will continue listening to Alexandra Walsh’s writings if they continue to be this fabulous. The narrator was also quite good at showing a range with her distinction between characters with the tone of her voice. On to the next story!

Huge fan
