Book 1 in the Queens of the Tower series.
Buy the book from:
Joan Vaux enters the service of Elizabeth of York after Henry VII’s victory has united the rival royal houses in marriage but not ended opposition to the Tudor regime. As a trusted attendant, Joan moves between the queen’s household, the Tower of London and a court troubled by conspiracies and pretenders.
The novel uses Joan’s documented court career and her fictional fascination with the Tower’s ravens to view the first Tudor reign from below the throne. Her loyalty to Elizabeth is tested by marriage, motherhood and the need to protect a household whose security depends on royal favour while the dynasty remains politically fragile.
