Two women competing for a man's heart.... Two queens fighting with each other to the fatality for dominance... Here is the untold account of Mary Queen of Scots, in which New York Times best-selling creator Philippa Gregory reveals a fresh and unique view of one of history's most interesting, passionate, and maddening heroines. Biographers often disregard the captive years of Mary Queen of Scots, who trusted Queen Elizabeth's guarantee of sanctuary when she fled from rebels in Scotland and then found herself imprisoned as the "visitor" of George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury and his indomitable better half, Bess of Hardwick. The newly married couple welcome the doomed queen into their home, certain that portion as her hosts and jailors will bring them an edge in the cutthroat world of the Elizabethan judge. To their horror, they realize that the task will bankrupt them, so that as their house becomes the epicenter of intrigue and rebellion against Elizabeth, their commitment to each other and also to their sovereign makes question. If Mary succeeded in seducing the Earl, or if the fantastic spy professional William Cecil associated them to the growing conspiracy to free Mary from her against the law imprisonment, they'll all face the headsman. Heralded as "the queen of royal fiction" by USA Today, Philippa Gregory uses new research and her love for historical accuracy to put a well-known heroine in a completely new story full of suspense, love, and political intrigue. The Other Queen is the result of her determination to present a story worth this outstanding heroine.
