Historical | Fiction
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Wife
of Henry VIII comes a novel about the bitter rivalry between
Queen Elizabeth I and her fascinating cousin, Lettice
Knollys, for the love of one extraordinary man. Powerful and
dramatic, this is the story of the only woman to ever stand
up to the Virgin Queen—her own cousin, Lettice Knollys. Far
more attractive than the queen, Lettice soon won the
attention of the handsome and ambitious Robert Dudley, a man
so enamored of the queen and determined to share her throne
that it was rumored he had murdered his own wife in order to
become her royal consort. The enigmatic Elizabeth allowed
Dudley into her heart, and relied on his devoted service,
but shied away from the personal and political risks of
marriage. When Elizabeth discovered that he had married her
cousin Lettice in secret, Lettice would pay a terrible
price, fighting to keep her husband’s love and ultimately
losing her beloved son to the queen’s headsman. This is the
unforgettable story of two women related by blood, yet
destined to clash over one of Tudor England’s most
charismatic men.
