She survived falling into Tudor England. Now she's choosing what survives after her.
England, 1537.
Katherine Westmoor-a woman displaced from the future-has spent months documenting the Crown's corruption during the Dissolution of the Monasteries while protecting the household that sheltered her. She's worked alongside Michael, the household physician whose resistance network hides manuscripts from Crown destruction. She documented corruption. He gave her a cause. Neither of them planned on love.
That time is over.
As Commissioner Augustine-a man who treats law like scripture-builds a treason case against her household, Katherine crosses from quiet resistance into open defiance. Hidden archives are stripped. Networks collapse as informants break under interrogation, and her guardian leverages marriage negotiations to silence her. Michael is forced to watch-forbidden to intervene without exposing them both.
Katherine realizes the Crown's most effective weapon isn't soldiers-it's paper. Ledgers decide guilt. Writs erase families. Documentation outlives witnesses.
As arrests loom and betrayal comes from inside her own walls, Katherine races to secure the one record that could expose the entire Dissolution: a medieval land register proving three hundred estates were seized through forged audits. If it survives, the truth survives. If it doesn't, the months she's spent building her archive-and the lives risked protecting it-vanish into Crown fires.
With time running out and the net closing, Katherine must choose between saving herself-or becoming evidence.
Written in Stone Book II: The Reckoning continues a high-stakes historical thriller of surveillance, resistance, and institutional power, where family turns enemy and truth survives only when someone is willing to carry it forward.
Perfect for readers of Ken Follett's A Column of Fire and Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall.
