The scandalous and tragic life of Mary, Queen of Scots. Read her incredible story before seeing the major motion picture starring Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie! Mary Stuart was just five years old when she was sent to France to be raised alongside her future husband. But when the frail young king dies, eighteen-year-old Mary is stripped of her title as Queen of France and set adrift in the harsh world, alone.Determined to reign over what is rightfully hers, Mary returns to Scotland. Hoping that a husband will help her secure the coveted English throne, she marries again, but the love and security she longs for elude her. Instead, the fiery young queen finds herself embroiled in a murder scandal that could cost her the crown. And her attempts to bargain with her formidable “sister queen,” Elizabeth I of England, could cost her her very life.

"Mary Stuart is one of my favorite historical figures to read about. Carolyn Meyer never fails to disappoint. With Catherine de Medici as a mother in law and a much younger spouse who was also quite sickly, Mary had a lot of difficulty when her marriage began. Her life of being raised in the court of her future husband eventually leads to her accused of killing a man and the journey is incredible. Wonderful read from Carolyn Meyer as always."
