From the "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Last Wife of
Henry VIII" comes a novel about the bitter rivalry between Queen
Elizabeth I and her fascinating cousin, Lettice Knollys, for the
love of one extraordinary man.
Powerful and dramatic, this is the story of the only woman to
ever stand up to the Virgin Queen--her own cousin, Lettice Knollys.
Far more attractive than the queen, Lettice soon won the attention
of the handsome and ambitious Robert Dudley, a man so enamored of
the queen and determined to share her throne that it was rumored he
had murdered his own wife in order to become her royal consort. The
enigmatic Elizabeth allowed Dudley into her heart, and relied on
his devoted service, but shied away from the personal and political
risks of marriage.
When Elizabeth discovered that he had married her cousin Lettice
in secret, Lettice would pay a terrible price, fighting to keep her
husband's love and ultimately losing her beloved son to the queen's
headsman. This is the unforgettable story of two women related by
blood, yet destined to clash over one of Tudor England's most
charismatic men.
