BOOKPAGE, Starred Review

'...this stunning novel ...reexamines Boleyn's life from her beginnings to her rise and eventual fall in the Tudor court. Byrd's novel adds a depth to the character of Anne Boleyn that is often missing in other novels, and she brings the history to life in exquisite detail. Readers might indeed find themselves sympathizing with the young queen. Highly recommended for fans of Philippa Gregory. '

LIBRARY JOURNAL Starred Review

'Byrd crafts a well-researched historical novel that engrosses readers in Juliana's world and the juicy details of the Tudor court ... Anglophiles and history buffs alike will surely enjoy this bird's-eye view into royal politics, love, and scandal.'

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

'This lightly gothic novel, reminiscent of Victoria Holt, includes an intriguing mystery that is so ingeniously planned that, upon finishing, readers will spend time flipping back to see how the clues were laid... Richly detailed descriptions...perhaps take second place to the author’s immensely engaging characters.'

HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY, Editor’s Choice

'Capturing a distinctively gothic feel, the third standalone novel in The Daughters of Hampshire series beautifully pairs mystery with romance. Byrd's research into the traditions, culture and dark underbelly of England in the 1800s resonates on each page to help readers become immersed in the era. Descriptions of lavishly sewn gowns and the fascinating world of the theater are brought to life by Byrd's superb writing.'

ROMANTIC TIMES
