Description
Elizabeth I has ruled England for ten years, but refuses to name a successor. This decision sets off a chain reaction of intrigue and betrayal in the Tudor court. Bess of Hardwick, newly wed to George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, is drawn into the web of politics when they are asked to give sanctuary to Mary Queen of Scots. As tensions rise, even Bess's own loyalty is tested. The castle becomes a hotbed of conspiracy, with Elizabeth's spymaster William Cecil at its centre. The fragile balance of power in England hangs by a thread as the rival claims to the throne threaten the kingdom. Will the fragile alliances hold, or will the consequences be catastrophic?
