England's Tower of London was the terrifying last stop for generations of English political prisoners perceived as threats to the reigning monarch. Across the years, four young royals shared the same small rooms in their dark prison. Weaving together the lives and fates of its youngest and most blameless into a dark mystery of thwarted love and ruthless ambition, Alison Weir has written the most suspenseful, large-scale novel of her career.

Work Description
Alison Weir's engrossing new novel of historical suspense tells the dramatic intertwined stories of two women: Katherine Grey, whose world falls apart when her older sister, Jane, is imprisoned and executed for unlawfully accepting the English crown; and her distant kinswoman Kate Plantagenet, the bastard daughter of Richard III. Separated by time, Katherine and Kate are linked by twin destinies involving the mysterious tragic fate of the Princes in the Tower.
