关于此电子书
In this powerful Tudor short story, Sunday Times bestselling novelist Alison Weir reimagines the life of the secret love child of Cardinal Wolsey.
Few can claim to be a cardinal's daughter, but I can . . .
Dorothy Clausey grows up in the splendid shadow of Worcester Cathedral, raised by loving parents she believes to be her own. But soon after her eighteenth birthday, Dorothy learns the shocking truth. She is the secret daughter of the great Cardinal Wolsey - King Henry's chief minister and the most powerful subject in the realm.
When rumours swirl that the King will move against Wolsey for treason, Dorothy finds herself in a dangerous position. Heartbroken, she agrees to enter a convent for her own protection.
At Shaftesbury Abbey, Dorothy is torn between her new vocation and the unexpected desires stirring within her. But when the King begins dissolving monasteries, and the young novice nuns are given the choice to stay or leave, Dorothy must decide her true path . . .
