Description

Part 2 of a trilogy of novels about Elizabeth I.In July 1553, sibling rivalry looms perilous, even life-threatening, between the daughters of King Henry VIII. Their brother King Edward is dead, his successor Lady Jane Grey has been beheaded, and one of them, Mary, has just won possession of the throne. But her younger half sister - the beautiful and vivacious Princess Elizabeth - holds the hearts of the people. In these treacherous times, Elizabeth must rely on her faith and courage if she is to outwit her sister and rise to fulfill her destiny. With grace and elegance, Margaret Irwin continues the story begun in Young Bess, giving readers an intimate peek into the world of that most enigmatic of Britain's monarchs.
