Moss is the basket girl for the executioner at the Tower of London who is also her father. Due to a mistake that occurred years ago, Moss and her father have spent her whole life locked behind the walls of the Tower and she dreams of the life she could live if only her father wasn't so determined to stay for reasons he will not share. But as Moss dreams of leaving her feelings of being trapped only grow and soon she begins to determine to leave her life behind no matter what fears her father may have. When she falls across a hidden way out to the Thames River bank Moss decides to take her destiny into her own hands and strikes out to find out what the world holds but as she nears her twelfth birthday someone is watching her and waiting for the day to arrive when they can finally claim her as their own. As Moss learns the truth about life outside the Tower and about her family's past she begins to uncover secrets that may cost her her life.
A wonderfully suspenseful authentic look at life for the various characters who lived along the Thames and the shadow of the Tower during Tudor times. As you watch Moss turn into a young woman with questions and she explores up to Hampton court you get a feel for what challenges faced the regular people of England. A definite recommend for anyone interested in historical mysteries or Tudor England.
