Beefeater guards were everywhere. There was no escape. Ben never expected to be trapped in the Tower of London, fighting for his life. Now, rats swarm the dungeons, and Anne Boleyn's ghost patrols the corridors at night. Ben is only fifteen, an orphaned coal boy. He's no knight in shining armor, able to fight his way to freedom. He had no idea he'd be caught in the bitter rivalry between the forces of Queen Mary and Princess Elizabeth. But his inner strength is seriously tested when he attempts a thrilling and dangerous escape across the putrid moat and over the fortress walls. Based on true events! Can Ben survive disaster?
