Fool

From the author of The Alchemist's Daughter comes a tale of obsession and deceit...

Kronos is a fool in the court of King Henry VIII. Jeered for his dwarfism, lauded for his juggling...and discreetly desired by noble ladies. One dangerous moment of eavesdropping nearly costs him his life. Brutally maimed and abandoned, he is rescued by an apothecary and nursed back to health. But when his rescuer learns of Kronos's import, he contrives to make himself a rich man. He pits two powerful Tudor families against one another.

However, Kronos is wise to court machinations, and he is ready to outplay anyone who attempts to use him. Dismissed and underestimated, Kronos can overcome any preconceptions about his character and make his foes reconsider which among them is truly...the fool. View Less
