When James II succeeds to the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland, his determination to promote religious tolerance for Catholics brings him into conflict with Parliament and much of the nation. Across the North Sea, William of Orange and his wife Mary become the focus of those seeking to replace the Stuart king. As political crisis turns into revolution, family loyalty collides with national destiny.
Jean Plaidy recounts the events leading to the Glorious Revolution through the lives of the rulers whose decisions transformed the British monarchy. From the birth of James's long-awaited son to William's invasion of England, the novel explores one of the defining constitutional crises in British history.
