Overview

Born into a world of privilege and power, Mary Tudor expected to live the life of every other European Princess during the Renaissance. She knew it was her duty to marry well, and provide sons and heirs to her future husband, while remaining in the political shadows of a world dominated by ruthless men. Her father's desperate need for a male heir and his willingness to send everybody who got in his way to their deaths, meant that Mary had very little hope of obtaining the English Crown. But a series of traumatic events nobody could see coming would propel Mary on a life-long journey to claim what so many believe to be rightfully hers: The Throne of England.

"""I really enjoyed this book. I felt that I got to know Mary much better than I ever thought I would."" -Lori Parrish, NetGalley Reviewer ""This is finally a version of Mary in a more positive light and not the mopey and depressed person she is often portrayed as in other books on the time period. It was entertaining and I would read it again."" -Stephanie Peterson, NetGalley Reviewer ""Long overdue, author Amanda Schiavo has penned a compelling portrait of the early years of Tudor Queen, Mary I. Overshadowed by her half-sister, Queen Elizabeth I, Schiavo shines a light on a complicated and often misunderstood woman."" -Jean M. Roberts, author of The Angel of Goliad"
