The daughter of James I, the Princess Elizabeth would not be
merely her father's pawn in the royal marriage market.
The court of James I is a dangerous place, with factions led by
warring cousins Robert Cecil and Francis Bacon. While Europe
seethes with conflict between Protestants and Catholics, James sees
himself as a grand peacemaker--and wants to make his mark by
trading his children for political treaties.
Henry, Prince of Wales, and his sister, Elizabeth, find
themselves far more popular than their distrusted father, a
perilous position for a child of a jealous king. When Elizabeth is
introduced to one suitor, Frederick, the Elector Palatine, she
feels the unexpected possibility of happiness. But her fate is not
her own to choose--and when her parents brutally withdraw their
support for the union, Elizabeth must take command of her own
future, with the help of an unexpected ally, the slave girl Tallie,
who seeks her own, very different freedom.
