A dramatic novel of passion, politics, and betrayal by the author of "The Other Boleyn Girl".
1568. The Virgin Queen Elizabeth I has ruled England for ten years, but she refuses to name a successor, despite competing claims that threaten her kingdom. Bess of Hardwick, the new Countess of Shrewsbury, has secured her future with her fourth marriage to George Talbot. Ambitious and clever, Bess expects royal favor when she and the earl are asked to provide refuge to the fugitive Mary, Queen of Scots.
However, the Scottish queen rebels against her house arrest in an isolated castle and schemes to reclaim her throne. The castle becomes the center of intrigue against Elizabeth, with the earl being blinded by his admiration for the other queen. Even Bess's loyalty is called into question. If Elizabeth's spymaster, William Cecil, connects the Talbots to the growing conspiracy to free Mary, they will all face the Tower...
