In the final novel of the Cousins’ War series, the story centers on Margaret Pole, cousin to Elizabeth of York and lady-in-waiting to Katherine of Aragon. Viewed as a threat to King Henry VII’s reign, Margaret is married to Sir Richard Pole, a loyal supporter. Their life in Wales is disrupted by the arrival of Prince Arthur and his bride, Katherine. As Margaret becomes a trusted advisor to the couple, she conceals her royal ties while serving the Tudors. Following Arthur's unexpected death, Katherine marries Henry VIII, and Margaret is summoned to court as chief lady-in-waiting to the new queen. However, her privileged position is jeopardized with the rise of Anne Boleyn and the ensuing turmoil at court. Torn between loyalty to the increasingly tyrannical king and her beloved queen, Margaret grapples with her faith and the shifting allegiances of the Tudor era. As she navigates these treacherous waters, she must also contend with the legacy of an old curse that haunts the Tudors, forcing her to carve out her own path amidst the chaos.
