Description

Dorothy Dunnett's Queens' Play is a gripping tale of intrigue and deception set against the lavish backdrop of 16th-century France. In 1548, seven-year-old Mary Queen of Scots has been dispatched to France, where she finds herself vulnerable and surrounded by the treacherous world of court politics. Believing that an assassin has been hired to kill the infant monarch, Mary's mother orders Francis Crawford of Lymond to protect her, while also secretly hunting down the individual responsible. As Lymond navigates the complex web of alliances and rivalries within Henri II's glittering court, he must remain one step ahead of danger. With its vivid characters, engaging plot, and dense plotting, Queens' Play is a masterful tale of melodrama that will keep you reading late into the night.
