When King James of Scotland succeeds to the throne Frances is only too happy to stay at home. His court may be shockingly decadent, but his intolerant Puritanism see witchcraft in many of the old customs -- punishable by death. Yet when her ambitious uncle forces Frances to return to the royal palace, having bought her a position as a lady in the bedchamber of the young Princess Elizabeth, she becomes 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 Wintour has a secret that, when revealed, places Frances in conflict with her royal charge and in fear for her own family. 600 30 $a Stuart, House of $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Healers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women healers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Monarchy $z Great Britain $x History $y 17th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gunpowder Plot, 1605 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y James I, 1603-1625 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $x History $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Court and courtiers $v Fiction. 600 37 $a Stuart, House of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00219793 650 7 $a Courts and courtiers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881829 650 7 $a Healers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00952697 650 7 $a Kings and rulers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00987694 650 7 $a Monarchy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01025055 650 7 $a Women healers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177731 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1600-1699 $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 800 1 $a Borman, Tracy. $t Frances Gorges trilogy ; $v 1. 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20200610030300.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C76BC18AAE011EAB9A2E32697128E48 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
