When young Robert Dudley, an earl's son, meets squire's
daughter Amy Robsart, it is love at first sight. They marry
despite parental misgivings, but their passion quickly
fades, and the ambitious Dudley returns to court. Swept up
in the turmoil of Tudor politics, Dudley is imprisoned in
the Tower. Also a prisoner is Dudley's childhood playmate,
the princess Elizabeth. In the shadow of the axe, their
passion ignites. When Elizabeth becomes queen, rumours rage
that Dudley means to free himself of Amy in order to wed
her. And when Amy is found dead in unlikely circumstances,
suspicion falls on Dudley - and the Queen...Still hotly
debated amongst scholars - was Amy's death an accident,
suicide, or murder? - the fascinating subject matter makes
for an enthralling read for fans of historical fiction.
