The Queen's Falconer

Once he pretended to be a king. Now he must think like one or die trying.

Lambert Simnel cheated the executioner once. As King Henry VII's royal falconer, he has spent years being deliberately forgettable: a former pretender to the throne living on royal sufferance, grateful for every unremarkable day. But when a mysterious inheritance from a murdered nobleman lands in his lap, it catches the eye of Sir Thomas Lovell, the king's most feared spymaster and enforcer. Within days, Lambert's carefully constructed invisibility is stripped away, and he is thrown headlong into the most dangerous conspiracy the Tudor court has ever seen.

A poisoned gift. A frightened queen. A kingdom on the edge.

The trap is elegant and devastating: a stunning white falcon, offered as tribute to the beloved Queen Elizabeth of York, concealing a secret that could unravel the Tudor dynasty from within. With enemies operating inside the very walls of Richmond Palace, Lambert has no one he can trust until he discovers a surprising ally in Princess Margaret Tudor, a young woman whose wit and nerve are as formidable as any swordsman's blade. Together, they must navigate a world where loyalty is purchased, secrets are currency, and the wrong word in the wrong ear means a quiet death before dawn.

Perfect for fans of C.J. Sansom, Hilary Mantel, and S.J. Parris.

THE QUEEN'S FALCONER plunges readers into the glittering, treacherous world of the early Tudor court: a place of Twelfth Night feasts and whispered treason, of candlelit banquets and midnight betrayals.
