Aprašymas

Ambition. Sorcery. Treason. How far will one woman dare to go?

At the glittering royal court of Henry V, lady-in-waiting Eleanor Cobham has neither title nor fortune. Her fate is tied to that of her new mistress, Jacqueline, an exiled Countess from the low countries. And despite her noble birth, the Countess's position is dangerously fragile.

Fearing what lies ahead, Eleanor seeks out a fortune-teller. And when her prophecy comes shockingly true, Eleanor must command Jacqueline's household alone. In the dazzling, dangerous world of the Plantagenet court, where a baby boy is now king, Eleanor begins to crave more - not just to hold Jacqueline's power, but to own it, and to take her place alongside her husband.

For amid the rich splendour and ruthless betrayal, Eleanor knows she must secure her place - and the higher she rises, the sharper the knives around her become.

Eleanor turns once more to the fortune-teller to guide her, drawn deep into a world of astronomy and predictions. But will she master her fate - or be destroyed by it?
