'Vivid and psychologically brilliant.'
The Times Literary Supplement
Blending meticulous research with real storytelling flair, Elizabeth, Captive Princess is a gripping follow up to the master of historical fiction's, Young Bess
July, 1553. Sibling rivalry has never been more turbulent and perilous than between the daughters of King Henry VIII. Queen Mary Tudor has just won possession of the throne, but her younger half-sister – the beautiful and vivacious Princess Elizabeth – holds the hearts of the people. Knowing this, Mary banishes her sibling to a country retreat, determined to keep her as far away from court life as possible. But Mary's health is fading fast and her power beginning to crumble.
The people of England are crying out for a new monarch and it seems, at last, they may have their wish and crown their beloved Bess as Queen. In these treacherous times, when all about her lies secrecy and deception, Elizabeth must rely on her faith and courage if she is to rise to fulfil her destiny.
'More Tudor gusto and verve than David Starkey.'
