A bold new novel from the writer of Restoration and The Way I CAME ACROSS Her
In the year 1629, a English lutenist named Peter Claire arrives at the Danish court to become listed on King Christian IV's royal orchestra. As soon as when he realizes that the musicians have to execute in a freezing cellar underneath the royal apartments, he realizes that he's come to a location where the opposing states of light and dark, good and evil, are waging war to the death. Designated the king's "Angel" because of his visual appearance, he finds himself falling deeply in love with the young woman who is the companion of the king's adulterous and estranged wife, Kirsten. With his loyalties fatally divided, how will Peter Claire find the road that will realize his hopes and save his soul?
With a sure, alchemical touch and the narrative finesse that always turns her histories into a kind of magic, Rose Tremain has fashioned a rich, provocative historical romance as pungent as Denmark's salty air. This is an account of opposites: light and darkness, tenderness and violence, music and silence.
