Power corrupts. Faith divides. Blood remembers.
England, 1553 - A Kingdom on the Brink of Chaos

As King Edward VI lies dying, the question of succession threatens to plunge England into civil war. Amid the storm of political intrigue and religious tension, Richard Fitzwarren -- former nobleman, disgraced soldier, and mercenary for hire -- is summoned from exile. His mission: to protect Princess Elizabeth and serve the interests of those who would see her crowned.

But Richard has his own reasons for returning. Revenge runs deeper than duty, and the past refuses to stay buried.

Loyalty Has a Price -- and Spies Always Pay
With every step, Richard is drawn deeper into a shadow world of secrets and betrayal. From the back alleys of London to the corridors of power, danger waits in every corner. Trusted allies may be traitors. Friends wear masks. And when the fate of a future queen hangs in the balance, one wrong move could mean death.

As the crown teeters and the knives come out, Richard must choose: serve the cause -- or save himself.

Perfect for fans of C.J. Sansom, S.J. Parris, and Philippa Gregory.
Step into the turbulent world of Tudor England in this fast-paced historical thriller packed with action, historical intrigue, and a hero as cunning as he is conflicted.
