In The Queen's Governess: A Novel by Karen Harper, the New York Times bestselling author of Mistress Shakespeare tells the captivating story of Elizabeth I’s most trusted confidante—a common woman who found herself at the heart of royal intrigue.
Katherine Ashley, a sharp and charming young woman from a humble background, catches the eye of the ambitious Thomas Cromwell, a powerful figure in King Henry VIII’s court. Cromwell arranges for Kat to serve at the royal court but with the dangerous role of a spy.
Caught in a perilous web of political maneuvering and shifting loyalties, Kat is entrusted by Anne Boleyn to protect her daughter, Elizabeth. As she navigates a world of exile, assassination attempts, imprisonment, and a potentially disastrous romantic entanglement, Kat is willing to sacrifice everything—including her own secret love—to safeguard the future of the intelligent and promising young princess.
