The King's Witch by Tracy Borman
In March of 1603, as she helps to nurse the dying Queen Elizabeth of England, Frances Gorges dreams of her parents' country estate, where she has learned to use flowers and herbs to become a much-loved healer. She is happy to stay at home when King James of Scotland succeeds to the throne. His court may be shockingly decadent, but his intolerant Puritanism sees witchcraft in many of the old customs--punishable by death. But when her ambitious uncle forcibly brings Frances to the royal palace, she is a ready target for the twisted scheming of the Privy Seal, Lord Cecil. As a dark campaign to destroy both King and Parliament gathers pace, culminating in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, Frances is surrounded by danger, finding happiness only with the King's precocious young daughter, and with Tom Wintour, the one courtier she feels she can trust. But is he all that he seems? Acclaimed as a brilliant historian, Tracy Borman proves with this thrilling debut novel that she is also a born storyteller.Tracy Borman is the Heritage Education Trust's chief executive and England's joint chief curator of Historic Royal Palaces. She is the author of six previous books, including Thomas Cromwell and Elizabeth's Women: Allies, Rivals, and Foes Who Formed the Virgin Queen, both of which have received critical praise. She resides in Surrey with her family and holds a PhD in history from the University of Hull.
