by Karen Harper (Author)
The New York Times bestselling author of Mistress Shakespeare delivers the epic tale of Elizabeth I's most trusted companion--a commoner who lived among royals....
Katherine Ashley, the clever, beguiling daughter of a poor country beekeeper, catches the attention of powerful, ambitious Thomas Cromwell--henchman for King Henry VIII. Cromwell secures for Kat a place in the royal court, but as a reluctant spy. Plunged into a treacherous game of shifting alliances, Kat is entrusted by Anne Boleyn to protect her daughter, Elizabeth. In the face of exile, assassination attempts, imprisonment, and a romantic flirtation that could cost the young princess dearly, Kat will risk everything--even her own secret love--for her bright, clever Elizabeth.Author Biography
