The Bedlam Series: The Case of Lord Simon
A Tudor tale of madness, faith, and forbidden loyalty.
In the treacherous court of Queen Mary Tudor, one man’s downfall becomes another’s salvation.
Lord Simon Stanley, the disgraced son of a duke, is cast into Bedlam Asylum after his drunken recklessness brings ruin upon his family. Inside the madhouse, where faith and delusion share the same walls, Simon meets Winnie Wryght, a woman devoted to protecting her brilliant but afflicted brother, Astrolabe. Amid the cries of the forsaken and the whispers of the damned, Simon’s path toward redemption begins.
When his loyal steward, Tobias Good, is wrongfully accused of murder and condemned to hang, Simon and Winnie must risk everything — even their own freedom — to outwit a corrupt keeper, a vengeful rival, and the political intrigues of the Tudor court.
From the squalid corridors of Bedlam to the candlelit halls of Whitehall Palace, The Case of Lord Simon explores the razor’s edge between faith and madness, love and duty, redemption and ruin.
This novel is Book One of The Bedlam Series — a sweeping historical drama that invites readers into a world where sanity is suspect, loyalty is dangerous, and salvation comes at a terrible cost.
