About this ebook

Mary Howard has always lived in the shadow of her powerful family. But when she’s married off to Henry Fitzroy, King Henry VIII’s illegitimate son, she rockets into the Tudor court’s inner circle. Mary and “Fitz” join a tight clique of rebels who test the boundaries of court’s strict rules with their games, dares, and flirtations. The more Mary gets to know Fitz, the harder she falls for him, but is forbidden from seeing him alone. The rules of court were made to be pushed…but pushing them too far means certain death. Is true love worth dying for?

Ratings and reviews

This book was absolutely amazing, I cried like a baby. It's so sad but at the same time its a wonderful glimpse into the life of 16th century royalty and the inner workings of the court. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn a bit about history while enjoying an amazing coming of age novel

I enjoyed this book and the author's style. It pulled me in and had me feeling anxious, angry, and heartbroken. It was lacking a sexual edge, but only because it was written to be historically accurate. I would read more from this author.

Just in love with this book. Plain & simple.
