This is the story of Alice Petherton, in which we follow her rise from Maid of Honor to mistress of King Henry VIII. Alice is a fictional mistress of the King, but there are enough historical figures that surround her to make her seem entirely believable as fact. Alice’s internal struggles are one of the most interesting aspects of this story. Her desire to be admired and gain a position of power is constantly in contrast with her fear of the King’s fickleness and, at times, a disgust of her own actions. Engaging read with a host of complex characters. This story is followed by a sequel entitled Very Like a Queen.
