Synopsis

No one wanted you. But I did. Kat's true identity is a secret, even from her. All she has ever known are Grace and Anna and their small village. Kat wants more—more than hours spent embroidering finery for wealthy ladies and more than Christian, the gentle young farmer courting her. But there are wolves outside, Grace warns. Waiting, with their eyes glowing in the dark . . . and Grace has given Kat safety and a home when no one else would. Then a stranger appears in their cottage, bringing the mystery of Kat's birth with her. In one night, Kat's destiny finds her: She will leave. She will journey to London, and her skill with the needle will attract the notice of the magnificent Queen Elizabeth—and of the wolves of the court. She will discover what Grace would never tell her. Everything will unravel.

Goodreads review by Jacki on July 19, 2010

This book is another example of historical fiction that reads a bit like a video game: we are given a main character purely for the purposes of exploring the world of the story. This story doesn't accurately reflect Elizabethan England. Adopted commoner Kat would likely have simply married the pear f......more

Goodreads review by Sara on February 05, 2009

Even though set in Elizabethan England, heroine Kat Bab is modern in her determination to discover her true identity and parentage, her desire to live a "big life" away from the village, and in her struggle over whom to love. Crowley's research of the times is evident in the vivid descriptions of th......more

Goodreads review by Joy (Cheery♡Reads) on February 13, 2012

I had the same views of those who have read and already rated this as a 2-3 stars. Thus, I won't repeat the same things again. I'll just list them down: 1. The protagonist herself. Urgh! 2. The romance. I'm so disappointed in it. No words could describe it. 3. Christian! I've never in my life detested......more
