Gregory does her usual excellent job of ratcheting up the intrigue and suspense as another intelligent and strong-willed heroine fights for her life and her legacy.
Booklist"
Who s ever heard of Kateryn Parr? Henry VIII s sixth wife was smart, independent and managed to outlive him. In historical-fiction-queen Gregory s latest, she s unforgettable.
People Magazine"
Full of vivid details and fraught with the constant tension of a court run by a madman, this novel will appeal most to historical fiction readers and those who enjoyed Wolf Hall. . . . Gregory beautifully builds the suspense.

Infuses vitality into an oft-forgotten player in the aftermath of the War of the Roses Margaret Poole, heiress to the defeated Plantagenet clan.
Closer"
Margaret s story is shocking, deeply moving and offers an alternative view on a much-told tale. Gregory is on form here; her depiction of Henry VIII s transformation from indulged golden boy to sinister tyrant is perfectly pitched and seems more horrific still when we are made intimate witnesses to the devastation of Margaret s family. . . . I defy anyone to remain dry-eyed as the story reaches its tragic denouement.
The Sunday Express (UK)"
[A] gripping and detailed chronicle, with plenty of court intrigue and politics to spice up the action . . . . Highly recommended.

Nobody does dynastic history like Gregory.
Booklist"
This rich tapestry brings to vivid life the court of Henry and Elizabeth. Meticulously drawn characters with a seamless blending of historical fact and fiction combine in a page-turning epic of a story. Tudor-fiction fans can never get enough, and they will snap this one up.
