Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Three sisters. Three secrets. Three ways to fall.
Forcibly seduced by George Villiers, duke of Buckingham and the king's favourite, doctor's daughter Hester was cast aside to raise her illegitimate son, Rafe, alone and in secret. She hopes never to see his father again.
Melis' visions cause disquiet and talk. She sees what others can't - and what has yet to be. She'd be denounced as a witch if Hester wasn't so carefully protective.
Young Hope's beauty marks her out, drawing unwelcome attention to the family. Yet she cannot always resist others' advances. And her sisters cannot always be on their guard.
So when the powerful duke decides to claim his son against Hester's wishes, the sisters find themselves almost friendless and at his mercy. But are their secrets their undoing or their salvation? Because in the right hands, a secret is the deadliest weapon of all....

Beautifully told, relevant and unpredictable
The narration is clear and calm, I liked the voices she chose for the individual characters and the story is written with incredible attention to detail. A very interesting historical fiction novel. Definitely recommend.

Content, narration and pace=excellent.
I loved everything about this book and was sad when it ended, even though I was keen to know how the main characters fared.

Good Story line
It was good but I did struggle with what the implication was towards her son at the very end.
It was a bit predictable but still an easy listen with a good use of the English language. The Narration was brilliant.

Highly recommend.
This really drew me in and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent, clear narration, well drawn characters and a believable plot. The phrase 'Girl Power springs to mind .
