The second volume of the Anne saga, set in the world of Philippa Gregory’s White Queen during the Wars of the Roses. Anne de Bohun has a dark secret. A secret that threatens her life, and the future of the kingdom of England itself. Raised as a peasant girl, Anne’s gift for healing saw her thrust into the dangerous heart of court affairs, and under the spell of the greatest love of her life, King Edward himself. Yet theirs is a forbidden passion, for Anne is the illegitimate daughter of Henry VI, the king usurped by the man she loves. Now exiled in Brugge, Anne struggles to find peace in a dangerous world of treachery and suspicion, where enemies masquerade as allies, and someone very powerful wants her dead.

Reviews
The sequel to THE INNOCENT and every bit as good, with its richly detailed settings, intrigue, adventure and sizzling love affair between King Edward and Lady Anne.
A skilful tapestry that glows with as much colour as the mediaeval fabrics that have helped Anne survive.
Posie Graeme-Evans' masterful prose brings vividly to life the colours, sounds, smells and sights of a romantic and thrilling period in history.
A spellbinding trilogy. . . . [Graeme-Evans] certainly knows how to bring to life a different time and place, peopled with memorable characters. This book will enthral everyone who loved The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory or Katherine by Anya Seton.
