Description
Thomas Howard's ruthless ambition forged a dynasty, but the true rivals in the Tudor court were those who stood alongside him. His wife and mistress would battle to the end for his affections, as Elizabeth Stafford, a young woman of noble birth, found herself torn between duty and desire when her father arranged her marriage to Thomas Howard, third Duke of Norfolk. In this treacherous world of court politics and family loyalty, two women must navigate their complicated relationships with the powerful Duke. Bess Holland's charms are easily won by the Duke, but Elizabeth's passion for him is a different story altogether. As the Duke's schemes unfold, including his pursuit of the royal bloodline through marriage to King Henry VIII's niece Anne Boleyn, the women's loyalties are tested in ways they never could have imagined. In an age marked by ruthless beheadings and self-serving motives, Elizabeth and Bess must fight a force more sinister than the executioner's axe: their own survival.
