She had everything–dazzling beauty, brilliant wit, captivating charm, unflinching courage. Born to reign, she was every inch a queen as she made her imperious moves on the chessboard of power. But she could not rule her own impulsive heart, and she scandalized her people with her passions, was betrayed by the brutal and powerful man she loved, and was lured into the deadly spider’s web woven by her envious and unforgiving cousin, Elizabeth of England. Here is the unforgettable story of Mary Queen of Scots, who lost a throne for love, and gained immortal triumph in her ultimate hour of tragedy.
