"In the Shadow of the Queen" is the second book in Elizabeth Fremantle’s cycle about remarkable women in English history. It tells the story of the Grey sisters—whose destinies scholars still debate. But they agree on one thing: what is hidden in shadow can be brighter than the sun.
Jane Grey, the eldest sister—known by the people as the "Nine-Day Queen"—ascended the throne during a time of turmoil. Almost immediately she was overthrown by Mary Tudor and executed as a traitor. After Jane’s death, her younger sisters, Catherine and Mary, found themselves in a desperate situation. They were persistently suspected of plots and attempts on the throne, and every step they took was watched.
Even if the sisters lived in a golden cage, neither strict prohibitions nor mortal danger stopped Catherine from secretly marrying, nor prevented Mary from meeting the man who truly loved her.
