Buy the book from:
After Lady Jane Grey is executed in 1554, her younger sisters Katherine and Mary remain dangerously close to the English throne. Queen Mary I keeps them within reach of the court, where Katherine’s beauty and desire for love make her vulnerable to political suspicion, while Mary’s intelligence and physical difference lead others to underestimate her. The painter Levina Teerlinc observes and assists the sisters as they learn that royal ancestry can operate like a sentence.
The danger continues after Elizabeth I succeeds her half-sister. Neither Grey sister may marry without the queen’s permission, because a husband and child could create a rival Tudor line. Katherine’s secret marriage and Mary’s own attempt to choose a private life become acts with constitutional consequences. The novel follows the women from the aftermath of Jane’s failed succession through Mary’s Counter-Reformation and into an Elizabethan court determined to control every possible claimant.
