In the dangerous world of Tudor England, secrets can cost you your life.
Joan Brampton is a respected midwife and wise woman, accustomed to being summoned in the darkest hours to help women through the dangers of childbirth. But one stormy night, Joan is called to a secluded mansion and ordered to tell no one where she is going.
Behind locked doors she discovers a terrified young noblewoman, barely more than a child, in the throes of a perilous labour. Her identity must remain hidden, her pregnancy concealed, and Joan is forced to swear an oath of absolute secrecy. What she witnesses that night could threaten reputations, powerful men — and perhaps even the Tudor throne itself.
