β¦ Synopsis
Two women competing for a manβs heartβ¦
Two queens fighting to the death for dominanceβ¦
The untold story of Mary, Queen of Scots.
Fleeing rebels in Scotland on Queen Elizabethβs false promise of sanctuary, Mary, Queen of Scots, finds herself imprisoned as the βguestβ of George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, and his indomitable wife, Bess of Hardwick. Soon the newly married coupleβs home becomes the center of intrigue and rebellion against Elizabeth, and their loyalty to each other and to their sovereign comes into question. If Mary succeeds in seducing the earl into her own web of treason, or if the great spymaster William Cecil links them to the growing conspiracy to free Mary from her illegal imprisonment, they will all face the headsman. Using new research and her passion for historical accuracy, Gregory places the doomed queen into a completely new tale of suspense, passion, and political intrigue.
