    Summary

    A woman wakes up in a boat on the Thames, her only memory the words "Shakespeare's Birthday" and a name and address: "Thomas Cromwell, Austin Friars." With everything about her, from her face to her clothing to her language being strange in the London of April 1533, she soon poses a mystery to Henry VIII's Master Secretary and his household. Especially intrigued is Master Cromwell's nephew, Richard. Thomas Cromwell is renowned for his memory, but can he help her recover hers?

    Summary

    “His voice rises. ‘I made my minister, and by God I will maintain him. If I say Cromwell is a lord, he is a lord. And if I say Cromwell’s heirs are to follow me and rule England, by God they will do it, or I shall come out of my grave and want to know why.’”

    Henry VIII, The Mirror and the Light.

     

    Heavy is the weight of the Throne of England. And crushing is its Crown. But it is a burden God had bestowed upon Henry VIII. Though a conversation with Gregory Cromwell, the eldest child of his prized minister, may offer a reprieve that the King had only considered in anger.

    Who better to sit on the throne than the man who walks with King Arthur in his dreams?

    Summary

    “If you think I am Walter, I will show you Walter!” He cries, and Thomas freezes, his eyes are filled with fear. Rafe has never seen his master so afraid."

     

    /

    Moments before the final blow ends Thomas’ life, a herald arrives with a letter bearing the King’s seal, granting Thomas a reprieve.

    Unfortunately, Henry’s mercy has its limits. Thomas survives the pain of a botched execution, yet Rafe, Richard, and Gregory live through the consequences.

    And in attempting to fill the shoes of Thomas Cromwell, Rafe accepts it is a battle he may never win.

    Summary

    There are things Thomas remembers. Cold steel slicing the back of his neck–a crowd of a thousand welcoming his death, the world fading into blackness as agony forced him into unconsciousness–but those are dreams, Henry says. Just dreams.

    So is the boy who calls himself Gregory Cromwell.

    Or

    Henry spares Thomas last minute, but not fast enough to stop the ax from falling once. Following his “accident” –as the king calls it–Thomas develops amnesia. And to keep his former secretary close, Henry keeps prominent members of his past far.

    Summary

    A hand is on his arm now, a command to rise, but he cannot. He cannot. He is a dead man trapped in a body that still thinks and breathes, but a dead man nonetheless. Dead men do not rise, they do not walk away. More insistently, the hand tugs, his neck is pulled from the block and without instruction or cause, his knees unbend: he rises. The murmur of the crowd gives to a roar.

    It is 28 July 1540, and the axe never falls.
