With a unique perspective, Eva chronicles her experiences amid the political intrigues and social dynamics of the Tudor era. She navigates the challenges of loyalty and ambition, capturing the essence of life within the castle walls.

Her diary unfolds the emotions and turmoil of the women around her, revealing Catherine's struggles against expectations and the looming specter of a kingdom in flux. With reflective prose, Eva lays bare the hopes and fears of a young woman caught in an era defined by power and desire.
