Book description
England, 1536. Home to the greatest, most glittering court in English
history. But beneath the dazzling façade lies treachery . . .
Elizabeth Tudor is daughter to Henry VIII, the most powerful king
England has ever known. She is destined to ascend the throne, and
deferred to as the King's heiress, but that all changes when her
mother Anne Boleyn - Henry`s great passion and folly - is executed for
treason.
Elizabeth 's life alters in a heartbeat. A pawn in the savage game
of Tudor power politics, she is disinherited, declared a bastard, and
left with only her quick wits to rely on for her very existence. But
Elizabeth is determined to survive, to foil those who want to destroy
her, or who are determined to use her as a puppet for their own lethal
ambition, and to reclaim her birthright . . .
