Buy the book from:
Joan Vaux, now Lady Guildford, remains a confidante of Elizabeth of York while her husband Sir Richard Guildford advances through Henry VII’s court. The death of Arthur, Prince of Wales, followed by Elizabeth’s death in childbirth, leaves the royal household in mourning and the young Prince Henry as the dynasty’s principal surviving heir.
Court service gives Joan influence but makes her family dependent on royal patronage and vulnerable to political suspicion. Continuing the Queens of the Tower sequence, the novel follows a documented courtier through the final years of Henry VII’s reign and examines how women maintained households, relationships and political networks during a succession crisis.
