What to expect
In a brand-new short story, Alison Weir reimagines a dark and dangerous moment in Tudor history.
I wasn't supposed to know about the secret prayer meetings, the hidden English Bible, the people coming and going under cover of darkness. It was illegal, you see . . .
Guernsey, 1556. Devoted servant Jennet is heartbroken when her mistress, Perotine, is arrested alongside her mother and sister for a crime that the Massey women did not commit.
As Protestants, to be accused of theft under the staunch Catholic rule of Queen Mary is matter of life and death. And, once the Massey family find themselves locked in the grim Castle Cornet, it seems that nothing can change the dreaded sentence they face.
Except for one thing, unknown to their accusers.
Mistress Perotine is with child.
Can Jennet intervene in time to delay the trial? Or has a terrible fate already been written for Perotine Massey?
*Includes the first chapter of the spellbinding new Tudor Rose novel, Mary I: Queen of Sorrows *
