About this audiobook

Summary

Beatrice Aldersey can copy any handwriting so perfectly that her forgeries feel more truthful than the originals—a gift that becomes a death sentence when Catholic Queen Mary's Lord Chancellor forces her to manufacture evidence against Protestant nobles. Trapped between a queen who shows her unexpected kindness and a spymaster who holds her father's life as collateral, Beatrice must decide whether to forge a letter that could send Princess Elizabeth to the executioner's block and reshape the future of England forever.
