England, 1548. The young Princess Elizabeth lives in the household of her stepmother Catherine Parr and Catherine’s ambitious new husband, Thomas Seymour. Seymour’s intrusive behaviour towards Elizabeth produces gossip capable of destroying her reputation, while his rivalry with his brother, Lord Protector Edward Seymour, turns the royal household into part of a wider struggle for influence over Edward VI.

Richard Fitzwarren is drawn into the scandal and made a convenient target when powerful men attempt to contain its consequences. His connection to Elizabeth leads towards exile, mercenary service and the divided loyalties developed in A Queen’s Spy. The novella establishes the relationship between Richard and Jack while placing their fictional history against the real Seymour affair, Catherine Parr’s death and Thomas Seymour’s execution for treason.
