Kate Allen, a fifteen-year-old girl, travels back in time to the Tudor court of Henry VII. While there, she is mistaken for an absent Katherine of Aragon, and subsequently takes the place of the young woman positioned to become the first wife of the future king Henry VIII.

But gradually, she recognizes her own ability to adapt and learns to stop running from the things she fears, and embrace life, a decision that will make a difference to her in times to come.
