Praise for Joanna Hickson: ‘An intriguing tale, told with confidence’ The Times ‘Rich and warm’ Sunday Express

Will his ambition be her destiny or her downfall?

When Isabel Williams is betrothed to John Seymour, Lord of Wulf Hall Manor, she hopes that love and respect will come, despite his cold streak of ruthless ambition.

Jess the Shepherdess tends her flock on the wild spaces of Avebury close by, dismissing those who believe it is work for men. Forced to flee after falling under suspicion for the disappearance of a young man, Isabel’s offer of life with the growing Seymour family is the only refuge available to her.

As John’s ambition draws them into the orbit of the divided court of the young King Henry VI, his hunger to succeed takes on a darker edge. Isabel realises her husband will pay any price to get what he wants, even if it means destroying those he has sworn to protect...
