Alison Weir goes to the heart of Tudor England at its most dangerous and faction-riven in telling the story of Elizabeth I before she became Queen. The towering, capricious figure of Henry VIII dominates her childhood, but others play powerful roles: Mary, first a loving sister, then as Queen a lethal threat; Edward, the rigid and sad little king; Thomas Seymour, the Lord High Admiral, whose ambitions, both political and sexual, are unbridled. And, an ever-present ghost, the enigmatic, seductive figure of her mother Anne Boleyn, executed by Henry, whose story Elizabeth must unravel.
