The long-awaited continuation of the royal cycle!
Perfect for fans of Hilary Mantel and Philippa Gregory novels. It will appeal to everyone who loves 'The Tudors', 'Game of Thrones', 'The Crown'.
'Queen's Rival' is the third book in the Elizabeth Fremantle cycle about outstanding women in English history. It tells the story of Penelope Devereux (married Rich), who was able to gain a position at court thanks to her strength of character. For the poet Philip Sidney, she was a muse, for Queen Elizabeth I - the daughter of a sworn enemy, for King James - 'a beauty with a black soul'. Penelope's life was spent in the shadow of brilliant contemporaries, but Elizabeth Fremantle brought the heroine to the forefront.
Endowed with beauty and charm, young Penelope and her brother, the Earl of Essex, arrive at court and quickly win the favor of the aging Queen Elizabeth. Penelope is in love with one, but is married off to another, for life at court is not only about broken hearts but also shattered fates. 'Queen's Rival' is a story filled with love and hatred. It is the last moments of Elizabeth's reign and a deadly struggle for power in a dying dynasty. It is the fate of an extraordinary woman, worthy of applause.
'To maintain an inner core and not break, being in the whirlpool of political intrigues and losing those you love, not caring about the opinion of others, - is this not a feat for that time?' - Alexandra Marinina, writer
