The Fallen Angel
First published 2020
By 1614 Frances Gorges is married to Sir Thomas Tyringham and hopes that distance from the royal household will protect her family. Her security is threatened when the ambitious George Villiers begins his rapid ascent as James I’s favourite. Villiers’s determination to remove rivals and control access to the king draws Frances back into a world where private intimacy has become an instrument of government.
The danger reaches Frances’s family and Katherine Manners, whose inheritance makes her important to Villiers’s plans. With Walter Raleigh and the young Prince Charles caught in the same shifting network of favour, conspiracy and religious suspicion, Frances must decide whom she can trust. The final novel closes the trilogy through a struggle over patronage, marriage and power at the Jacobean court.
