The Final Sacrament (October
22, 2013; Historical Fiction; $14.99; Trade Paper; 9781402272721)
presents the gripping conclusion to this Elizabethan adventure, where
religious tensions, political intrigue, and personal
vendettas collide.
1566. William Harley, Clarenceux King of Arms, has
risked his life to protect a secret document, which could endanger Queen
Elizabeth’s place on the throne and plunge the country into civil war.
But when his family goes missing, Clarenceux
is put to the final test.
Will he abandon queen and country to save the ones he loves, or sacrifice everything for the good of the nation?

My Thoughts:
The Final Sacrament is the concluding volume in the Clarenceux Trilogy. For me this was the best book of the three. Queen Elizabeth's crown is in the balance and William Harley has the document that could make or break it. A document that says that Anne Boleyn married Henry Percy which would make Queen Elizabeth I illegitimate.
This book is full of action, and great Tudor period mystery. If you enjoy the Tudor period this series is perfect for you.
