About this ebook

Appearances are not what they seem...

Kronos is a juggler at court; a man jeered for his physicality, lauded for his juggling talent, and discreetly desired by noble women. One dangerous moment of eavesdropping nearly costs him his life. Brutally maimed and left for dead, he is rescued by an apothecary and nursed back to health. When his rescuer learns of Kronos's import to the future of England he contrives to make himself a rich man. He will use Kronos to pit two powerful Tudor families against one another.

But Kronos is wise to court machinations, and he is ready to outplay anyone who thinks him weak. Dismissed and underestimated, Kronos is a man who can overcome any preconceptions and make his foes reconsider which of them is truly...the fool.
