About this listen

Lady Kat Cooke is a member of the Tudor court, presided over by an ailing King, and a resolute Queen Katherine Parr. Kat is a witness to the grandeur and wealth, and to the dangerous passions that are hidden beneath the surface. Kat knows that there is danger for the Queen, and possible betrayal. Kat is determined to remain loyal, but a reckoning with the King looms. Will Kat survive or will her fiery spirit lead her into danger?

But Kat is more concerned for her daughter than herself. Alice, who is a companion to the Lady Elizabeth, becomes involved in a situation which becomes ever more precarious as power shifts in the court.

In The Shadow of the King, Caroline Willcocks gives an insider’s view into the troubled lives of Henry’s wife and children. Amidst the splendour, there are hidden passions, jealousy and fear. Each of Henry VIII’s women must tread carefully if they are to keep their hearts and their heads.

The Shadow of the King is the fourth book in the Tudor Queens series, following Of Aragon, The Duty of Women, and Girl Queens.
