She must navigate the complex political landscape of Tudor England, where intrigue and betrayal are commonplace. Ford's writing style is engaging and descriptive, making the characters and the setting come to life. He vividly portrays the opulent and decadent court of King Henry VIII, where power and wealth are everything.
