The Bakers Daughter

Hidden in the Shadows of the Queen

By: E.J Bennett

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She fled a kingdom built on faith… only to find herself in the shadows of another.
Maryam was never meant to survive.
Driven from Spain by fear, fire, and the slow tightening grip of the Inquisition, she escapes with her family across a deadly sea—leaving behind everything she has ever known. But England offers no safety. Only silence. Only shadows.
Now hidden within the narrow streets of London, Maryam lives between worlds—pretending to belong, while carrying a truth that could destroy her.
When a simple delivery brings her into the presence of a forgotten princess—Catherine of Aragon—Maryam finds something she never expected.
Recognition.
Connection.
And a dangerous place at the edge of the royal court.
But the past does not stay buried.
As whispers of what happened in Spain begin to surface, and unseen eyes begin to watch, Maryam is forced to make a choice—
Hide… or step into a world far more dangerous than the one she fled.
Because survival is no longer enough.
And some shadows are closer to the throne than they appear.
