Elizabeth by Tom McGregor

Elizabeth by Tom McGregor



All England rejoices when Princess Elizabeth ascends the throne after the death of her tyrannical sister,Queen Mary.For the country,her crowning marks the end of an era of religious repression and the beginning of a new spirit of freedom.For Elizabeth,however,dark days are ahead.

Thrust into the role of monarch,the young queen inherits a kingdom full of bitter hatreds,treacherous plots,and ruthless violence.Her only solace is her company of childhood sweetheart,Robert Dudley,but as queen, the match is forbidden.And with enemies in her own court eager to exploit her naivete and wrest the crown from her,Elizabeth turns to Sir Francis Walsingham,the Master of Spies,a man whose own motives are suspects.In a game of high political risk and grave personal sacrifice,Elizabeth must prove herself worthy to rule-for the fate of a nation hangs in the balance.
