The Kings Kitchens: Bread and Sorrow

Below stairs, everything is seen.In the King's kitchens, the fires never go out. But the light does not reach everything. After the birth of a long-awaited heir, the court of Henry VIII should rest easy. Instead, mourning lingers, tempers sharpen, and the promise of a new queen -Anne Of Cleves- brings with it uncertainty rather than then peace.Below stairs, the kitchens endure.Bread is made. Orders are followed. Silence .is kept. Agnes Fletcher has learned to survive by being unseen, by speaking little, and by holding close what must never be revealed. But the past does not remain buried, and the words she carries-dangerous, forbidden/ alive threaten to draw her into a world far beyond her place. They rise.Around her, eyes watching. Loyalties are shifting. And the smallest truth, once spoken, cannot be taken back.
