American author Margaret George's gripping novel is the true story of Mary Stuart, whose life became a supreme tragedy that has endured through the ages. The reign of this most beautiful of queens, who strove for peace and prosperity, became a time of rebellion and conspiracy, and her legitimate claim to the English crown led to a feud with Elizabeth Tudor, years of imprisonment, and her death on the scaffold.
The first volume describes Mary Stuart's early years—her childhood and youth in France, her luxurious life as the Dauphin's bride at the court of Henry II, her brief marriage to the young King Francis, and her return to Scotland, where she would defend her right to rule, unite the country, and fall in love for the first time.
In the second volume, the young ruler continues her struggle for her country, pursuing a policy of religious tolerance, attempting to reconcile her subjects, losing friends and gaining new allies. Her marriage to Lord Darnley is crumbling, and the queen finds solace in the arms of the Earl of Bothwell. Betrayed by her inner circle and accused of adultery, Mary is forced to flee and seek the protection of the Queen of England. Little does she know that the refuge offered by her powerful cousin will turn out to be captivity, from which there is only one escape…
