"There is no room for failure at court."
Frances Grey, the niece of King Henry VIII, was born close to the crown, but never held much influence or power. Overshadowed first by her dazzling mother, then by the daughter who would become the infamous Lady Jane Grey, Frances learns early on her position is precarious and survival is never guaranteed.
She wants more than just a place at court. She wants the crown for herself.
But everything has a cost. Every ally has a price, every ambition creates an enemy, and every step towards the throne draws the attention of those who would rather see her fall. In a world where rumors become accusations and loyalty can be bought, Frances must decide what she's willing to sacrifice...
A tense Tudor court drama of ambition, betrayal, and the dangerous hunger for a crown.
