Inspired by her debut novels The King’s Witch and The Devil’s Slave, author and historian Tracy Borman will take us into the turbulent world of the early Stuart court, where King James I waged a war on witches and Catholics alike. It was not long before a dark campaign to destroy both King and Parliament gathered pace, culminating in the Gunpowder Plot. The heroine of the novel is Frances Gorges, daughter of Elizabeth I’s favourite lady-in-waiting, who finds herself accused of witchcraft and becomes embroiled in the plot to oust James from the throne. Interweaving fact and fiction, Tracy will tell Frances’s story, and in so doing brings one of the most dramatic periods in British history vividly to life. Photo credit Lorentz Gullachsen
