The Uncrowned Queen of Hampton Court
Stepping into the opulent yet perilous world of King Henry VIII's court, you are Lady Victoria of Cambridge. Armed with wit, charm, and a lineage that catches the King's eye, you navigate the treacherous waters of favor, betrayal, and the desperate need for an heir. Will you become the King's mistress, his queen, or fall victim to the court's ruthless ambition?
January 15th, 1517.
The carriage rattled to a halt. Your father, the Duke of Cambridge, has been summoned to the King's council, and the family is now to reside at Hampton Court Palace. Stepping out, the sheer grandeur of the palace unfolds before you. Your mother's instructions echo in your mind: bow to the King, wait, then greet your father.
As you curtsey before King Henry VIII, a man whose very name commands the world's attention, you feel the weight of expectation. This is not just a new home; it is a new world, filled with unspoken rules and hidden dangers. Your future, and perhaps your family's, rests on your ability to navigate it.
