    “Book Descriptions: Alice Petherton is a young maid of honour at the court of Henry VIII. When the philandering Sir Richard Rich attempts to seduce her she is forced to take action to defend herself. Yet she knows she cannot thwart such a powerful man for long. Unless, of course, she finds a protector more powerful than Rich.

    Alice befriends the King by reading verse with him but soon finds that his interest in her extends somewhat further. He celebrates the birth of his son Edward by taking her to his bed. Queen Jane dies soon after giving birth and in his distress and grief Henry dismisses Alice. He cannot resist her charms for long, however, and Alice soon returns as his favourite. She is happy with this role, with the finery and flattery, with accommodating the fiery passion of the King. Her only concern is to avoid the danger of becoming his next wife.

    Her wit and intelligence allows Alice to lightly negotiate the snares and dangers of Henry’s court. But all too soon she makes a rash misjudgement and is dismissed by the furious King. She suffers a terrifying fall from favour which drives her from the palace to the squalid streets of London and worse.”
