From the author of Queen’s Gambit, which People magazine
called, “A must-read for Philippa Gregory fans,” a
gripping
historical novel about two sisters who tread as
dangerously
close to the crown as their tragic sister, Lady Jane Grey,
executed after just nine days on the throne.
Early in Mary Tudor’s turbulent reign, Lady Catherine and
Lady Mary Grey are reeling after the brutal execution of
their elder seventeen-year-old sister, Lady Jane Grey, and
the succession is by no means stable. In Sisters of
Treason,
Elizabeth Freemantle brings these young women to life in a
spellbinding Tudor tale of love and politics.
Neither sister is well suited to a dangerous life at
court.
Flirtatious Lady Catherine, thought to be the true heir,
cannot control her compulsion to love and be loved. Her
sister, clever Lady Mary, has a crooked spine and a tiny
stature in an age when physical perfection equates to
goodness—and both girls have inherited the Tudor blood
that
is more curse than blessing. For either girl to marry
without royal permission would be a potentially fatal
political act. It is the royal portrait painter, Levina
Teerlinc, who helps the girls survive these troubled
times.
She becomes their mentor and confidante, but when the
Queen’s sister, the hot-headed Elizabeth, inherits the
crown, life at court becomes increasingly treacherous for
the surviving Grey sisters. Ultimately each young woman
must
decide how far she will go to defy her Queen, risk her
life,
and find the safety and love she longs for.
