Historical
The daughter of James I, the Princess
Elizabeth would not be merely her father's pawn in the royal
marriage market. The court of James I
is a dangerous place, with factions led by warring cousins
Robert Cecil and Francis Bacon. While Europe seethes with
conflict between Protestants and Catholics, James sees
himself as a grand peacemaker—and wants to make his mark by
trading his children for political treaties. Henry,
Prince of Wales, and his sister, Elizabeth, find themselves
far more popular than their distrusted father, a perilous
position for a child of a jealous king. When Elizabeth is
introduced to one suitor, Frederick, the Elector Palatine,
she feels the unexpected possibility of happiness. But her
fate is not her own to choose—and when her parents brutally
withdraw their support for the union, Elizabeth must take
command of her own future, with the help of an unexpected
ally, the slave girl Tallie, who seeks her own, very
different freedom.
