A queen and prince abducted. Can Bronwyn save them?
Kitchen maid Bronwyn Blakenhale has earned Empress Maud's displeasure. She has been found in a passionate embrace with Theobold Durville, the squire of the empress's main military commander, who currently sits in prison. And with members of the royal family on their way to Bristol for a hostage exchange, tensions are high. Nothing must go wrong. It's certainly not the time for squires to go messing about with kitchen maids in full view of the empress.
But when word comes that the queen and prince have been abducted, the empress sets Bronwyn on a thankless task. For earning her displeasure, Bronwyn is bidden to find and return the missing pair-or never return to court. Her search leads her to track a treacherous noblewoman to find them, then hiding the royal pair under the empress's nose in order to save their lives.
But there's another problem happening at court. Maidservants are dying, found with roses in their hands. And the prime suspect is Rupert Bothwell, Bronwyn's close friend and crush. Can she prove his innocence and find the killer? In a world of courtly intrigue, false friends, accusations of spying, and the threat of losing her closest friend hanging over her head, Bronwyn needs all the help she can get.
