Reseña del editor:

Freed from the Tower of London, Princess Elizabeth, the daughter of Henry VIII and the ill-fated Anne Boylen, wins the crown and risks everything for her childhood friend, Robert Dudley, who is married to another--and whose mere presence in her life shakes the very foundation of the House of Tudor. Original.

Reseña del editor:

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.
