"If I have anything to do with it, we Howards will live forever."
Thomas Howard Charismatic head of one of the most powerful Houses in Tudor England. An indomitable old man approaching eighty: soldier, courtier, politician, a 'phoenix' rising from the ashes. After a calamitous period of disgrace, the Howards, renowned for their good looks and charm, are once more riding high at the court of Henry VIII.
Set against the backdrop of the extraordinary 1520 'Field of Cloth of Gold', it is a tale of ambition, love, and intrigue, with Thomas at the centre of this intricate tapestry
Will Thomas's bold vow be fulfilled? Danger stalks the corridors of the royal courts of Europe. Uneasy lies the head beneath a crown. Every other ruler - a fickle bedfellow...or sworn enemy.
The action takes place in England, Scotland, and France. On either side of the Narrow Sea, four young lives are interwoven, partly unaware of each other, and certainly oblivious to what Dame Fortune has in store for them.
"Nicolas de La Barre laid his lute to one side, hardly bothering to stifle a yawn of boredom. Nevertheless, he couldn't escape the fact he'd agreed to take on a new wife...."
Explosive family secrets are concealed behind the ancient walls of castles in three lands. But... "There are no secrets that time does not reveal."
