Adored only child of King Henry VIII and his first wife Katherine of Aragon, the young Princess Mary grows up as the sole heiress to the English throne. But her father wants a son, and soon Mary’s world begins to fall apart. With her parents’ marriage – and England – in crisis, she is banished from the court and kept apart from the mother she adores.

Mary seeks solace in her faith. But when her brother Edward VI dies, she finds herself fighting for the crown – and for her very life. Emerging triumphant, all seems set fair for the reign of Queen Mary. 

And then, very quickly, things begin to go badly wrong...

Alison Weir’s new Tudor novel tells the story of how a princess with such promise, loved by all who knew her, becomes the infamous Bloody Mary.
