  • "A novel that reflects on the captive years of Mary, Queen of Scots, who trusted Queen Elizabeth's promise of sanctuary when she fled from rebels in Scotland, but found herself imprisoned as the guest of George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, and his indomitable wife, Bess of Hardwick. The newly married couple welcome the doomed queen into their home, certain that serving as her hosts and jailers would bring them an advantage in the cutthroat world of the Elizabethan court, but, to their horror, they find that the task will bankrupt them. As their home becomes the epicenter of intrigue and rebellion against Elizabeth, their loyalty to each other and to their sovereign comes into question. If Mary succeeds in seducing the earl into her own web of treachery and 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."
  • "Following the lines of The Other Boleyn Girl, Gregory presents the experiences of Mary Queen of Scots during her long imprisonment in England from a new perspective that reveals as much about the England of Elizabeth as the tragic life of her half sister."
