Inhaltsangabe

Long live the queen: The authors who brought you the New York Times bestselling My Lady Jane kick off an all-new historical trilogy with the classy, courtly tale of Mary, Queen of Scots—perfect for YA fantasy and romance readers.

Welcome to Renaissance France, a place of poison and plots, of beauties and beasts, of mice and . . . queens?

Mary is the queen of Scotland and the jewel of the French court. Except when she’s a mouse. Yes, reader, Mary is an Eðian (shapeshifter) in a kingdom where Verities rule. It’s a secret that could cost her a head—or a tail. 

Luckily, Mary has a confidant in her betrothed, Francis. But things at the gilded court take a treacherous turn after the king meets a suspicious end. Thrust onto the throne, Mary and Francis face a viper’s nest of conspiracies, traps, and treason. And if Mary’s secret is revealed, heads are bound to roll.

With a royally clever sense of humor, Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows continue their campaign to turn history on its head in this YA fantasy ideal for fans of A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue.

• Shapeshifter Romance: Being Queen of Scotland is hard. Being a mouse is harder. Especially when it’s a secret that could get you beheaded.
• Friends to Lovers: Mary and her betrothed, Prince Francis, have always been just friends. But as they’re thrust onto the French throne, navigating treason and conspiracies, their “just friends” arrangement gets complicated.
• Found Family: Mary isn’t alone at court. With her four best friends (all also named Mary) by her side, she has a loyal crew to help her sneak out, shoot arrows, and survive the vipers’ nest of the palace.
• Hilarious Historical Retelling: If you think you know the story of Mary, Queen of Scots, think again. From the authors of My Lady Jane comes another laugh-out-loud tale that turns a historical tragedy on its head.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The Lady Janies are made up of New York Times bestselling authors Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, and Jodi Meadows. They first met in 2012, when their publishers sent them on a book tour together, and they hit it off so well they decided to write My Lady Jane so they could go on book tours together all the time. Between the three of them they’ve written more than twenty published novels, a bunch of novellas, a handful of short stories, and a couple of really bad poems. They’re friends. They’re writers. They’re fixing history by rewriting one sad story at a time. Learn more at ladyjanies.com.
