A sumptuous historical novel set in the court of Elizabeth I, from
Sunday Times No.1 bestseller Philippa Gregory, the author of The
Other Boleyn Girl. Now I can be the queen that my mother intended
me to be . . . the queen I was born to be. 1558. After years of
waiting, Princess Elizabeth accedes to the throne of England. But
the country is divided, the restoration of the Protestant faith
ignites opposition from the church and beyond, and court remains a
treacherous place. Many believe that Elizabeth must marry if she is
to survive. For Robert Dudley, Elizabeth's ascension is a glorious
new dawn, and he quickly positions himself as the young queen's
favourite. Dudley is a man of powerful lineage; his father had been
a kingmaker at the court of Henry VIII. But Dudley has many
enemies, amongst them William Cecil, the queen's most trusted
advisor. As powerful families vie for stakes in the emerging
kingdom, Elizabeth must secure her own future.
