With her quick wit and dazzling green eyes, Eliza thinks that she has everything under control. But when she becomes a Maid of Honour at the Tudor court of Henry VIII, she finds herself disastrously underprepared for the treachery and whispers. Eliza doesn’t know how to play the games that her glamorous cousin, and rival, Katherine Howard does.
