A brother dead; a cousin executed; imprisonment in the Tower--in the aftermath of Edward VI’s demise England is in turmoil and young Elizabeth’s position is precarious. But while she is prey to the Queen’s jealous suspicions, Queen Mary is fading; while Elizabeth is twenty and healthy. The country looks to the young princess for its future.

Imperious, high spirited, fighting for her life, Elizabeth already shows the diplomacy, the baffling changes of mood, and the power to win men’s devotion for which she would be famous as Queen.
