A dramatic novel of passion, politics and betrayal from the author
of The Other Boleyn Girl. They can fear me, and they can hate me.
They can even deny me. But they cannot kill me. 1568. The Virgin
Queen Elizabeth I has ruled England for ten years, but refuses to
name a successor, despite the rival claims that threaten her
kingdom. Bess of Hardwick, the new Countess of Shrewsbury, has
secured her future with her fourth marriage to George Talbot.
Ambitious and shrewd, Bess anticipates royal favour when she and
the Earl are asked to give sanctuary to the fugitive Mary Queen of
Scots. But the Scottish queen rails against house arrest in a
desolate castle and plots to regain her throne. The castle becomes
the epicentre of intrigue against Elizabeth, the Earl blinded by
admiration for the other queen. Even Bess's own loyalty is thrown
into question. If Elizabeth's spymaster William Cecil links the
Talbots to the growing conspiracy to free Mary, they will all face
the Tower...
