Description
The thrilling last novel in the critically acclaimed Elizabethan trilogy, from an author who just hit the Sunday Times Bestseller list for a second time.
"James Forrester captures the sights, smells and dangers of Tudor England and tells a gripping story.” – Philippa Gregory
1566. William Harley, Clarenceux King of Arms, lives with his family in London, with a powerful document that could remove Elizabeth from the throne and thrust England into civil war. Lady Percy, Countess of Northumberland, has not given up trying to find it. Nor has she forgotten how he betrayed her.
When his wife and his daughter go missing, Clarenceux finds himself on the run with his other young daughter. He knows he must finally destroy the document, even if it should cost him his life - but will he sacrifice his family at the hands of his enemies for the good of the nation? Highlighting the spiritual struggles of Elizabethan England, James Forrester delivers a dramatic conclusion to the Clarenceux saga.
