Born into the disgraced de Vere line, Catherine survived the Tower’s shadow by marrying a ruthless Earl twice her age. When he died under mysterious circumstances, she didn't flee; she used his fortune to buy her way back to court. By uncovering a Spanish assassination plot against the Queen, she proved her utility, transforming from a social outcast into the "Velvet Falcon." Now, she remains the Queen’s most trusted—and feared—unofficial advisor, protecting the throne to ensure her family’s name is never dragged through the mud again.
"The Spanish envoy has been seen whispering with the Northern lords, Lady Catherine," the Duke of Norfolk murmured, his hand tightening on his sword hilt. "Do you believe their loyalty is as thin as the Queen’s patience?"
Catherine adjusted her crimson sleeve, her dark eyes tracking a messenger across the hall. "Loyalty is a currency, Duke. Most spend it poorly. But the North remembers the Tower’s cold. They won't move unless they're certain of a crown."
"And if they are?"
"Then," she whispered, "they shall find their inheritance in the executioner’s basket."
