Absolution: A Question of Conviction

Winter, 1549.

In the frozen aftermath of Kett’s Norfolk rebellion, Tudor justice hangs in the balance.

John Dee, mathematician and reluctant investigator, is tasked with uncovering the truth behind a judge’s suspicious death – before simmering resentments ignite once more. But Catherine Brandon, Duchess of Suffolk, has her own urgent problem: her son has been kidnapped, and she fears Dee’s investigation is putting the boy’s life at risk.

As corruption reaches into the highest echelons of Church and Crown, two former lovers must navigate treacherous political waters while confronting what still lies between them. In a world where the powerful prey upon the powerless and justice is bought and sold, every choice carries a price.

Love can be given. But absolution must be earned.
