Description

She did everything they told a queen to do. It destroyed her.

Born to a crown and raised in the glittering courts of France, Mary Queen of Scots believed beauty was power, love was protection, and that a queen who did everything right would survive.

She was wrong.

From the golden palaces of France to the cold castles of Scotland, from a marriage bed that became a battlefield to nineteen years of English captivity, Mary lived in a world that turned everything she had been taught to want - love, faith, marriage, and motherhood - into weapons against her.

She ruled with her heart when survival demanded something colder. She paid for it with her throne, her freedom, her son, and finally her life.

To her cousin Elizabeth of England, Mary was more than a rival. She was a problem. A threat. An inconvenient queen whose very existence could topple a crown.

Watching from across the border, Elizabeth chose differently. She ruled alone. She trusted no one. And she survived.

One queen chose power.
One queen chose love.

Which of them was right is a question readers must answer for themselves.

Told in Mary's own voice, from the splendor of the French court to the scaffold at Fotheringhay, this is the fictional story of a queen who refused to stop being human. And the world that punished her for it.

Some choices cost everything. She made them anyway.
A standalone historical fiction novella in the Queens of the Tudor Crown series that is meant to be a short escape to another place and time.
