In 16th-century England, two teenage best friends find themselves on an exciting journey from the country to the Queen's court in the hope of being named ladies-in-waiting. But Sybille and Rose soon discover they aren't the only girls who have their sights set on attending Her Majesty. The girls must compete against worldly and cunning opponents, among them mean-girl Avis and her entourage of back-stabbing co-horts, tipping the balance in their already-tenuous friendship. Soon, the grand hall is more like the hallway of a prestigious finishing school, with girls fighting for the attention of a dashing, young earl, amid parties fueled by drinking and indiscriminate dalliances. As the tension between Sybille and Avis heats up, the focus on Rose wanes, allowing her to turn her attention to more important matters &– like getting close enough to the Queen to learn her secrets. But being close to the Queen is not without its challenges. And when rumors of Rose's influence make their way around the castle, no one, not even the Queen, will be safe.

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SIX TUDOR QUEENS SERIES. In a brand-new short story, Alison Weir reimagines a dark and dangerous moment in Tudor history. I wasn't supposed to know about the secret prayer meetings, the hidden English Bible, the people coming and going under cover of darkness. It was illegal, you see . . . Guernsey, 1556. Devoted servant Jennet is heartbroken when her mistress, Perotine, is arrested alongside her mother and sister for a crime that the Massey women did not commit. As Protestants, to be accused of theft under the staunch Catholic rule of Queen Mary is matter of life and death. And, once the Massey family find themselves locked in the grim Castle Cornet, it seems that nothing can change the dreaded sentence they face. Except for one thing, unknown to their accusers. Mistress Perotine is with child. Can Jennet intervene in time to delay the trial? Or has a terrible fate already been written for Perotine Massey? *Includes the first chapter of the spellbinding new Tudor Rose novel, Mary I: Queen of Sorrows * READERS LOVE ALISON WEIR 'Weir truly brings history alive' 'I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was able to see the Tudor era through a new lens' 'I've yet to find any other author that captures history quite so well. I always feel like I've slipped in time and I'm privy to some secret historical events' 'Compelling, fascinating, exquisite'
