Two women compete for a man's heart and fight for dominance in the untold story of Mary, Queen of Scots. This captivating novel by Philippa Gregory offers a fresh perspective on one of history's most fascinating heroines. Often overlooked are the years Mary spent in captivity after trusting Queen Elizabeth's promise of sanctuary. Instead of safety, she finds herself imprisoned by George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, and his formidable wife, Bess of Hardwick. The newlyweds believe that hosting the queen will grant them an advantage at the Elizabethan court, but they soon realize that their hospitality will lead to financial ruin. As their home becomes a hub of intrigue against Elizabeth, their loyalties are tested. If Mary manages to ensnare the earl in her schemes, or if the cunning spymaster William Cecil uncovers their ties to a conspiracy aimed at freeing her, they all risk execution. Gregory employs new research and a commitment to historical accuracy to weave a tale rich in suspense, passion, and political machinations. Readers have long sought Gregory's interpretation of Mary's story, and this novel delivers a narrative worthy of such an extraordinary figure.
