About This Book

A young singer captivates an emperor and becomes the center of court intrigue as nobles, clerics, and attendants weigh the consequences of her favor. Admirers alternate with wary counselors who suspect her of Protestant connections, prompting surveillance, whispered reports, and manipulative schemes by figures seeking influence or revenge. Tensions between personal affection and political-religious authority unfold through guarded meetings, social maneuvering, and the contest to control reputation and access to power.
