Summary
On July 28 1540, Thomas Cromwell was executed, the same day Henry VIII married Catherine Howard. Little less than six months after, Henry VIII reportedly grumbled in court,
"On light pretexts, by false accusations, they made me put to death the most faithful servant I ever had."
or
Thomas Cromwell opened his eyes to grand, engraved, mahogany ceilings. The ceiling in his own chamber, before the reconstruction, before the fateful June, in July 1538.

Summary
He can excuse himself at council meetings if a minister cuts himself on a piece of parchment. He can hide away from banquets when the knife digs into the boar’s raw flesh, hinting at the smallest smell of blood. Yet, he cannot deny Henry’s invitation to a hunt, and no longer is Thomas Cromwell’s fear of blood kept secret.
/
After surviving the scaffold, Thomas develops an acute fear of blood and hides it from Henry until he can’t.

Summary
“If you think I am Walter, I will show you Walter!” He cries, and Thomas freezes, his eyes are filled with fear. Rafe has never seen his master so afraid."
/
Moments before the final blow ends Thomas’ life, a herald arrives with a letter bearing the King’s seal, granting Thomas a reprieve.
Unfortunately, Henry’s mercy has its limits. Thomas survives the pain of a botched execution, yet Rafe, Richard, and Gregory live through the consequences.
And in attempting to fill the shoes of Thomas Cromwell, Rafe accepts it is a battle he may never win.

Summary
The month is March 30th, and the year 1587. Thomas Cromwell should not be here. Or Rafe should not be seeing him, at least. He, Cromwell, has always been with Rafe. A presence lingering as closely to him as his own shadow, whispering in his ear in times of doubt and clapping his shoulder whenever he triumphed over his many tribulations. How often did Rafe’s hair stand at his neck as if someone was behind him in his time of need. How many occasions did he see a figure far off in the corner of his eye when he knelt down to pray for his Master's soul?
or
As Rafe's time draws to a close, Thomas Cromwell returns to shepherd his son into the next life.

Summary
There are things Thomas remembers. Cold steel slicing the back of his neck–a crowd of a thousand welcoming his death, the world fading into blackness as agony forced him into unconsciousness–but those are dreams, Henry says. Just dreams.
So is the boy who calls himself Gregory Cromwell.
Or
Henry spares Thomas last minute, but not fast enough to stop the ax from falling once. Following his “accident” –as the king calls it–Thomas develops amnesia. And to keep his former secretary close, Henry keeps prominent members of his past far.

Summary
Beaufort House is still open to his calls, it has to be, and so while Meg excuses herself from their company with a hostile backward glance, he and that human splinter behind his eye make a farce of a lean dinner and play at words, words, just words.

Summary
A hand is on his arm now, a command to rise, but he cannot. He cannot. He is a dead man trapped in a body that still thinks and breathes, but a dead man nonetheless. Dead men do not rise, they do not walk away. More insistently, the hand tugs, his neck is pulled from the block and without instruction or cause, his knees unbend: he rises. The murmur of the crowd gives to a roar.
It is 28 July 1540, and the axe never falls.

Summary
She could try to assemble these bits of knowledge into a father, but she would fail. It is like building a man out of spare parts: a lock of hair here, a patch of skin there. You can make a serviceable figure. It can walk around and sit and speak with you. But when you try to put its heart in, all you can find is a brick wall.
She went to England to see her father while he lived, in case the rebels killed him. She left thinking, I have seen all I will see of him, even if he lives another fifty years.
[28 July 1540. Five people who got on with their day, and one who didn’t.]
