This stunning third part to Kate Hennig’s powerful Queenmaker Series, England’s first queen finds herself fighting xenophobia, religious nationalism, and strained familial bonds in the power struggle that dubs her Bloody Mary. Upon the death of King Edward VI, the thirty-eight-year-old princess Mary—daughter of Henry VIII —wrests the throne from Edward’s deemed heir, Lady Jane. Relentless even in death, Mary’s mother appears in memory and adamantly questions the motives of Mary’s cousin Jane and her half-sister Bess, despite Mary’s affection for them both. As England splits along Roman Catholic and Protestant lines, Mary balances the razor’s edge of ethics and politics to hold onto her own sanity. Should she execute her opponents before it’s too late, the way her father did? Should she scramble to find a husband who can give her a rightful heir? Who can be trusted? Her mother, her sister, or even herself?
