Enter into this gilded world, where nothing is what it seems and there is everything to play for. The date is 1516. The setting is London, England. You are a member of King Henry viii's court. The king is young and merry and Queen Katherine is beautiful and always smiling... yet a rank darkness lies beneath the outer coating of gold.
The queen seems unable to produce an heir and the king grows anxious. Will he be able to put a son on the throne?
Come and join the fight for the right to ride at the king's side. Become a favorite of the queen. Be showered with gifts.
Or... watch your reputation crumble around you in your disgrace. Be sent away to the countryside to never be heard from again.
It is this time when women were nothing more than tokens to barter with and a person's whole existence relied on the happiness of a single man that you now enter. From this point forward, all your words will be coated with honey and your days filled with masques and parties beyond your wildest dreams... And the wrath of His Grace shall be your worst nightmare.
