In the wake of her mistress's execution, former maid of honour Bridget Manning has left the dangerous world of the court, determined never to return. But Henry VIII has other plans for her. He issues a royal summons and Bridget is in no position to refuse him. Once more she finds herself drawn into the orbit of the Tudor court where she must navigate a new but equally tumultuous landscape: the Pilgrimage of Grace has recently threatened the stability of the throne; Jane Seymour has become queen but will not long enjoy the honour and the king finally has his yearned for son and heir. Once the prince is born, though, his father's paranoia is given full rein and there is nothing he won't do to protect his inheritance from the court of traitors that threatens to swallow them all.
