London, 1501.  In a time of political unrest, Varina  Westcott, a young  widow and candlemaker for court and church, agrees to perform  a clandestine  service for Queen Elizabeth of York, wife of Henry VII.  She  works under the  watchful eye of handsome Nicholas Sutton, an ambitious assistant  to the  royals.   Then from Wales comes news of the unexpected death of Prince  Arthur, heir  to the throne, who has recently wed Catherine of Aragon.   Varina and Nick  travel to wild Wales to investigate the prince’s death and find  ties to the  disappearance of the queen’s brothers, the Princes in the  Tower. Now that  murderer is stalking them in an attempt to bring down the  new Tudor dynasty.   Publisher’s Weekly says, “With impeccable  research and just enough  romance, bestseller Harper illuminates a part of Tudor  history often ignored.   Harper writes with effortless prose and an expert  take on the era.
