Yet,of all their companions, it is Cat, watchful and ambitious, to whom theseemingly frivolous young girl confides. When Katherine is summonedto the royal court at seventeen—to become, months later, the wife ofHenry VIII after he casts off his previous queen—she leaves behind anex-lover, Francis, with whom Cat is soon passionately involved.
But a future that seems assured for the pampered new queen andher maid-in-waiting lasts a brief year and a half, only to be imperiledby improper acts and scandalous allegations of girlhood love affairs.Imprisoned in the Tower and hoping to escape a most terrible fate, afrightened, desperate Katherine relates a version of events that onlyCat recognizes as a lie—as more than one life is threatened by what shealone knows to be the truth about Katherine Howard’s past.
