Long live the queen: The authors who brought you the New York Times bestselling My Lady Jane kick off an all-new historical trilogy with the classy, courtly tale of Mary, Queen of Scots--perfect for YA fantasy and romance readers.
Welcome to Renaissance France, a place of poison and plots, of beauties and beasts, of mice and . . . queens?
Mary is the queen of Scotland and the jewel of the French court. Except when she's a mouse. Yes, reader, Mary is an Eðian (shapeshifter) in a kingdom where Verities rule. It's a secret that could cost her a head--or a tail.
Luckily, Mary has a confidant in her betrothed, Francis. But things at the gilded court take a treacherous turn after the king meets a suspicious end. Thrust onto the throne, Mary and Francis face a viper's nest of conspiracies, traps, and treason. And if Mary's secret is revealed, heads are bound to roll.
With a royally clever sense of humor, Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows continue their campaign to turn history on its head in this YA fantasy ideal for fans of A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue.
- Shapeshifter Romance: Being Queen of Scotland is hard. Being a mouse is harder. Especially when it's a secret that could get you beheaded.
- Friends to Lovers: Mary and her betrothed, Prince Francis, have always been just friends. But as they're thrust onto the French throne, navigating treason and conspiracies, their just friends arrangement gets complicated.
- Found Family: Mary isn't alone at court. With her four best friends (all also named Mary) by her side, she has a loyal crew to help her sneak out, shoot arrows, and survive the vipers' nest of the palace.
- Hilarious Historical Retelling: If you think you know the story of Mary, Queen of Scots, think again. From the authors of My Lady Jane comes another laugh-out-loud tale that turns a historical tragedy on its head.
