Memories are all he has...

Now they could save his life.

Returning to England after almost five years in exile, Robin Lewis is arrested and charged with heresy by the dying Queen Mary. Over a days-long journey to the Tower of London, Robin spins a tale for his captor, revisiting his life under three Tudor monarchs and wondering how he will be judged-not just by the queen, but by the God he stopped serving long ago.

When every moment counts, will the journey-and Robin's stories-last long enough for him to be saved by Mary's heir, the young Queen Elizabeth?

About the Author

Heenan, Karen: - As an only child, Karen Heenan learned early that boredom was the enemy. Shortly after she discovered perpetual motion, and has rarely been seen holding still since.She lives in Lansdowne, PA, just outside Philadelphia, where she grows much of her own food and makes her own clothes. She is accompanied on her quest for self-sufficiency by a very patient husband and an ever-changing number of cats.One constant: she is always writing her next book.

Praise for this book

"Evocative and poignant, this book is a worthy companion to Karen Heenan's enthralling novel 'Songbird'. Highly recommended." - Tony Riches, author of the Tudor Trilogy

"Messy, self-loathing, ambitious queer Tudors with conflicting feelings about god are my catnip!" - Allison Epstein, author of A Tip for The Hangman

"[N]ot only a different look at Tudor history, but...one of the finest character studies I know." - Marian L Thorpe, author of Empire's Legacy

"As much as I dislike the word 'unputdownable, ' once I got into the book it turned out to be, well, unputdownable." - Bjorn Larssen, author of Children

"[A] wonderfully realistic Tudor world. Songbird was a confident and excellent debut and now Ms Heenan goes from strength to strength with this new book." - Annie Whitehead, author of Alvar the Kingmaker

"[A] powerhouse of a novel!" - Laury Silvers, author of The Sufi Mysteries
