Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"In modern times, Cat would most likely be a cheerleader; the king, captain of the football team. But the royal backdrop with historical underpinnings makes a far more interesting story...Readers can practically feel the embroidered ball gowns and hand-stitched lace." -The Los Angeles Times

"I believe I found my new favorite series"- MTV.com

"Longshore, who's clearly done her historical homework, takes full advantage of the Tudor standards. . . and surroundings. . . but Cat is a completely contemporary American teenager."--BCCB

"Longshore writes a believable novel of historical fiction with well-developed characters and entertaining . . . plot twists."--VOYA

"A good, juicy story . . . royally riveting for the reader."--Booklist

"A substantive, sobering historical read, with just a few heaving bodices."--Kirkus Reviews

Reseña del editor:

In 1539, when Kitty Tylney's best friend, Catherine Howard, worms her way into King Henry VIII's heart and brings Kitty to court, she is thrust into a world filled not only with fabulous gowns, sparkling jewels and elegant parties but also with secrets, lies and sordid affairs, where Kitty witnesses Cat's meteoric rise and fall as queen and learns that the price of telling the truth could literally be her head.
