Praise for Joanna Hickson:

In the shadow of Wolf Hall, can one woman claim her own destiny?

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

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…

Can Isabella forge her own path surrounded by treachery and betrayal?
