Story of main character Mallory in durin the reign of Elizabeth I and the time when catholics were seen as traitors. Paints a vivid picture of that time the good and the bad. Read the content warnings before you start this book.
There are a few quite graphic tellings of torture, death and rape. I wish that in return we also got a more intimate scene of Mallorry and Lord N, but that was only insinuated.
