About the novel:
Publication date: June 26, 2012
When young Robert
Dudley, an earl's son, meets squire's daughter Amy Robsart, it is love
at first sight. They marry despite parental misgivings, but their
passion quickly fades, and the ambitious Dudley returns to court. Swept
up in the turmoil of Tudor politics, Dudley is imprisoned in the Tower.
Also a prisoner is Dudley's childhood playmate, the princess Elizabeth.
In the shadow of the axe, their passion ignites. When Elizabeth becomes
queen, rumors rage that Dudley means to free himself of Amy in order to
wed her. And when Amy is found dead in unlikely circumstances,
suspicion falls on Dudley - and the Queen...Still hotly debated amongst
scholars - was Amy's death an accident, suicide, or murder? - the
fascinating subject matter makes for an enthralling read for fans of
historical fiction.
