Gregory continues her Tudor chronicles with this lively tale of young Queen Elizabeth and Robert Dudley, supposing that they were in fact lovers, but that Dudley's lust for the throne was as great as that for the Queen, and that when she realized it, she had him framed for the death of his wife, tainting him with such scandal that he finally accepted the futility of his quest. The Elizabeth of this book is shown as very young, malleable, and inconsistent -- hardly the picture of majesty shown by most accounts.
