The Devil's Slave by Tracy Borman
4.0
With her lover dead Frances Gorges is pregnant reliant on her family for protection. She has escaped the taint of witchcraft and her part in the Power Treason is not public. Despite the scandal Frances marries Thomas Tyringham and gives birth to her son George but she is called back to court to serve the Princess Elizabeth and finds herself blackmailed into working for the Catholic opposition. Threatened by those around her, even her own family, Frances is forced to make a decision that may damn her forever.
I enjoyed the first book in this series and enjoyed this one even more so. Borman is an accomplished historian and her brings the intrigues and paranoia of the early Jacobean court to life. The plot is complex and full of politics but the setting, time and place, is brilliantly detailed. I look forward to the conclusion of the story!
