Following the acclaimed Queen's Gambit, Elizabeth Fremantle brings
us a new novel of intrigue and menace at the Tudor Court. . . 1554:
Lady Jane Grey is executed by her cousin Queen Mary... Now Lady
Jane's younger sisters Katherine and Mary, cursed with the Tudor
blood that saw their sister killed, face the perils of the royal
court alone. Lady Katherine - young and spirited - makes dangerous
romantic liaisons. While Lady Mary - crook-backed and vulnerable -
becomes the Queen's reluctant companion, yet yearns to escape court
intrigue. And both girls fear their proximity to the Queen might be
their undoing. For the childless Queen is ill. If she should die
Katherine may be pushed to power, but the Queen's half-sister
Elizabeth casts a long shadow and if she gains the throne the court
will become a terrifying maze of treachery and suspicion - where
holding royal blood could be a death warrant for the two sisters...
This sumptuous historical drama is perfect for fans of Philippa
Gregory and Hilary Mantel. Through the eyes of the Grey sisters we
are given an insight into the treacherous rule of the Tudor Court.

trilogy' The Bookseller 'A sumptuous epic' Metro 'Gripping' Woman

reader to the Tudor court, with all its tensions and games'

16th-century British court to brilliant life here, revealing what
one woman can teach us all about the timeless art of
survival'Andrea Walker, Oprah.com 'Wildly entertaining' Huffington
