Synopsis

Adventure, friendship, treason and betrayal. A dazzling historical novel from the award-winning Berlie Doherty.

Will Montague is a page to Prince Edward, son of King Henry VIII. As the King's favourite, Will gains many enemies in Court. His enemies convince the King that Will's father has committed treason and he is thrown into Newgate Prison. Will flees Hampton Court and goes into hiding in the back streets of London. Lost and in mortal danger, he is rescued by a poor boy, Nick Drew. Together they must brave imprisonment and death as they embark on a great adventure to set Will's father free.

'Doherty paints a very vivid picture... almost Shardlake for young readers' Independent on Sunday
