The court of the Queen Elizabeth is a hot-bed of intrigue and ambition...
It is a place where reputations can stand or fall on the merest hint of scandal. Lingering rumours even surround the Virgin Queen herself, despite the fate of those foolish enough to besmirch her reputation.
Recently arrived in court, Nell de Lacey is surprised to discover that many think she bears more than a passing resemblance to the younger queen. That, coupled with an old mystery about a missing portion of the Queen's past some years prior, is enough to set tongues wagging. And wherever the truth lies, even the rumour is sufficient to place Nell on a dangerous path that could all so easily end with her head on a block...

An engaging story, well researched and skillfully written
An absolutely wonderful read
Chase's prose is engaging, and her rich, detailed portraits of Renaissance women,
particularly those of a kindly but haunted Mary I and a vicious, conceited Elizabeth, are unforgettable
Chase expertly blends a detailed historical setting, intriguing mix of real and fictional characters, and clever plot lightly sweetened with a dash of romance into a completely captivating novel
