    About this audiobook

    Memories are all he has. Now they could save his life.

    Prickly, introverted Robin Lewis is a man with secrets. Returning to England after five years in exile, he is arrested and charged with heresy by the dying Queen Mary.

    He makes the risky decision to share his story over a days-long journey to the Tower of London. Will that decision make his captor see his humanity, or will it hasten his execution? Robin risks all and revisits his life under three Tudor monarchs, wondering how he will be judged - not just by the queen, but by the God he stopped serving long ago.

    When every moment counts, will the journey - and Robin's stories - last long enough for him to be saved by Mary's heir, the young Queen Elizabeth?

    Karen Heenan

    Karen Heenan was born and raised in Philadelphia. She fell in love with books and stories before she could read, and has wanted to write for nearly as long. After far too many years in a cubicle, she set herself free to follow her dreams - which include gardening, sewing, traveling and, of course, lots of writing. She lives in Lansdowne, PA, not far from Philadelphia, with two cats and a very patient husband, and is currently hard at work on her next book.
