About this product
Product Information
An astonishing debut in historical fiction, hailed as "part The Da Vinci Code , part The Other Boleyn Girl ," ( Woman's Day ), The Crown follows one nun's dangerous quest to find an ancient relic during Cromwell's reign of terror. Joanna Stafford, a Dominican nun, learns that her favorite cousin has been condemned by Henry VIII to be burned at the stake. Defying the rule of enclosure, Joanna leaves the priory to stand at her cousin's side. Arrested for interfering with the king's justice, Joanna, along with her father, is sent to the Tower of London. While Joanna is in the Tower, the ruthless Bishop of Winchester forces her to spy for him: to save her father's life she must find an ancient relic--a crown so powerful, it may possess the ability to end the Reformation. With Cromwell's troops threatening to shutter her priory, bright and bold Joanna must decide who she can trust so that she may save herself, her family, and her sacred way of life. This provocative story melds heart-stopping suspense with historical detail and brings to life the poignant dramas of women and men at a fascinating and critical moment in England's past.

Reviews
"Bilyeau deftly weaves extensive historical research throughout, but the real draw of this suspenseful novel is its juicy blend of lust, murder, conspiracy, and betrayal." O, The Oprah Magazine, "Bilyeau weaves her breathtaking story through a string of events to a pleasing conclusion while giving the reader a more thorough understanding of a complicated bit of history. Historical fiction as it should be."- The Times-Union, "This fast-paced debut delivers Tudor intrigue and mystical thrills in one satisfying package-and leaves room for a sequel."-- Kirkus, "[An] inventive thriller…A captivating heroine, Stafford will have you eagerly following every step of her quest."-- Parade, "All the ingredients for a thriller: murder, violence, intrigue, sex, and religious fanatics."--examiner.com, "The events of the period come to life in Nancy Bilyeau's dazzling and heart-wrenching novel. The Crown is evocative, provocative, and full of intriguing characters-a gorgeously written novel that has mystery and history, pathos and depth. This is a stunning debut about a woman whose spirit shines through and deeply moves the reader." International Bestseller, M.J. Rose, "Strong character development, realistic historical detail, and an atmosphere of pervasive tension coupled to a fast-paced plot make it compulsively readable."- Booklist, "An amazing first novel, filled with excitement, intrigue, espionage, and set against the background of one of the bloodiest periods of British history; the schism between Church and State. It's an action-packed tale of one nun's dangerous quest to discover the secrets of an ancient relic that dates back to centuries."--Katherine Neville, author of The Eight, "The Crown by Nancy Bilyeau is an amazing first novel, filled with excitement, intrigue, espionage, and set against the background of one of the bloodiest periods of British history; the schism between Church and State. It's an action-packed tale of one nun's dangerous quest to discover the secrets of an ancient relic that dates back to the time of Christ."--Katherine Neville, author of The Eight, "When her cousin is condemned to death by King Henry VIII, daring young nun Joanna risks everything to be by her side." People Magazine, "Nancy Bilyeau's polished, inventive debut has all the ingredients of the best historical fiction: a broad cast of characters, well-imagined settings, and vivid story-telling. . . . In Joanna Stafford, Bilyeau has given us a memorable character who is prepared to risk her life to save what she most values, while Stafford's desperate search for a lost religious relic will satisfy even the most ardent mystery fans." --Deborah Harkness, author of A Discovery of Witches, "Part The Da Vinci Code , part The Other Boleyn Girl , it will keep you guessing until the very end!" Woman's Day, Book Pick of the Month, "The right sort of action to lure fans of historical fiction: righteous nuns, evil bishops, real-world figures and a potential burning at the stake." Time Out New York, "A must read...Part The Da Vinci Code , part The Other Boleyn Girl , it will keep you guessing until the very end!"-- Woman's Day , Book Pick of the Month, "Bilyeau deftly weaves extensive historical detail throughout, but the real draw of this suspenseful novel is its juicy blend of lust, murder, conspiracy, and betrayal."-- O, The Oprah Magazine, "Bilyeau weaves her breathtaking story though a string of events to a pleasing conclusion while giving the reader a more thorough understanding of a complicated bit of history.

My only issue is the condition description. "Very good" to me means the cover is in good shape and the pages aren't bent, which was not the case with this set. Obviously still readable but I think the description was deceiving. Should have been listed as "Acceptable".

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
