Margaret Irwin

    Irwin war eine Romanautorin, die für ihre gründlich recherchierten und bisweilen herzzerreißenden historischen Romane bekannt war. Sie schrieb mit Leidenschaft über den englischen Bürgerkrieg und fesselte Generationen mit dem unglücklichen, aber charismatischen Earl of Montrose. Ihr literarischer Ansatz erweckte vergangene Ereignisse und Charaktere mit tiefem Verständnis für menschliche Motivationen und historischen Kontext zum Leben.

Knowing this, Mary banishes her to a country retreat, determined to keep her as far away from court life.

      Philip of Spain, unwilling bridegroom of Queen Mary, has been warned about the Queen's half-sister, the young Elizabeth. According to reports, she is a heretic, a rebel and a potential enemy with 'a spirit full of enchantment'. An alluring description and one that immediately intrigues, rather than deters, the foreign prince.
