About this ebook
In the court of King Henry VIII, nothing is free—and love comes at the highest price of all.
“A good, juicy story . . . royally riveting for the reader.”—Booklist
“Readers can practically feel the embroidered ball gowns and hand-stitched lace.”—The Los Angeles Times
“A substantive, sobering historical read, with just a few heaving bodices.”—Kirkus Reviews
Kitty Tylney has always lived in the shadow of her best friend, Cat. Then Cat worms her way into the court of King Henry VIII—and into the king’s heart. When Cat makes her best friend part of her inner circle at court, Kitty is thrust into a glittering new life of fabulous gowns, opulent parties, and dashing men vying for her attention. But Kitty soon discovers that beneath the golden veneer lurks a world of secrets and lies, trysts and back-door deals, where the price of gossip could literally be her head.
Once you’ve clawed your way to the top, there’s nowhere to go but down . . . and it’s a long fall from the Queen of England’s throne.
