Grace Cavendish Bücher

Frühling 1569. Die Erzählerin Lady Grace, 13 Jahre alt und die jüngste Hofdame von Königin Elizabeth I., muss sich bei einem glanzvollen Ball zwischen drei Bewerbern entscheiden. Doch ein Mord erschüttert den Tudor-Hof. Grace muss ihren Verstand, ihre List, ihre Neugier und ihre besten Freunde - die Wäscherin Ellie und die Akrobatin Masou - einsetzen, um die Bedrohung für ihre Königin zu lösen.

One suitor dead with a knife in his back, and another under suspicion, can Lady Grace, Queen Elizabeth's favourite Maid of Honour, solve the mystery and bring order back to the Queen's Court?

There's a new arrival - a mysterious and exotic young princess - at Court and Lady Grace can't believe how many rumours there are about her already. The exiled Banoo Yasmine from Sharakand is a beautiful girl with a pet panther and - everyone believes - magical powers. Yasmine also possesses the renowned Heart of Kings Ruby - a huge stone that she wears around her neck to balls and feasts, that legend says has the power to make kings. When the famed jewel goes missing, the finger is pointed at Grace's dear friend Ellie the laundrymaid. Grace must prove her friend's innocence, find the true thief and restore the stone to its rightful owner.
