As cousins of history's most tempestuous queens, Ladies
Jane, Katherine, and Mary Grey were born in an age when
all of London lived beneath the Tower's menacing shadow.
Tyrannized by Bloody Mary and the Virgin Queen, the
sisters feared love was unthinkable--and the scaffold all
but unavoidable. . .
Raised to fear her royal blood and what it might lead men
to do in her name, Mary Grey dreads what will become of
herself and her elder sisters under the reigns of Mary
Tudor and Elizabeth I. On their honor, they have no
designs on the crown, yet are condemned to solitude,
forbidden to wed. Though Mary, accustomed to dwelling in
the shadows, the subject of whispers, may never catch the
eye of a gentleman, her beautiful and brilliant sisters
long for freedoms that would surely cost their lives. And
so, wizened for her years, Mary can only hope for divine
providence amid a bleak present and a future at the whim
of the throne--unless destiny gains the upper hand.
A gripping and bittersweet tale of broken families and
broken hearts, courage and conviction, The Queen's Rivals
recounts an astonishing chapter in the hard-won battle
for the Tudor throne.
