A jester's reckoning in the court of King Henry VIII—betrayal, revenge, and the power of perception.
Kronos is a juggler at court—a man jeered for his physicality but discreetly desired by noble women. One dangerous moment of eavesdropping nearly costs him his life. Left insensible, he is rescued by an apothecary and nursed back to health. When his rescuer learns of his import to the future of England, he contrives to make himself a rich man.
But Kronos is wise to court machinations, and he's ready to outplay anyone who attempts to use him. Dismissed and underestimated, Kronos is a man who can overcome any preconceptions about his character and make his foes question who, exactly, is the greater fool?
