By Slanderous Tongues

After Henry VIII’s death, the future of England remains uncertain, and the plots around Princess Elizabeth grow more dangerous. Vidal Dhu seeks to remove the possibility that she will rule, using scandal and schemes because he cannot attack her directly. Mercedes Lackey and Roberta Gellis continue the Doubled Edge story through the changing Tudor court, where the fate of the realm depends on Elizabeth’s safety and reputation. Read it after Ill Met by Moonlight; the official author page dates it before the final novel in this route.
