Description
Used by her family, destroyed by her country…
Lady Jane Grey never wanted to be Queen.
As seventh in line to the throne, she never imagined that one day the heavy crown of the kingdom would rest upon her young head.
But her cruel, power-hungry parents had other ideas and used her in a desperate attempt to further their own ambitions.
As part of a plot against the throne, Jane was married off at the tender age of sixteen and proclaimed Queen almost immediately.
However, she was nothing but a pawn in the hands of others and she quickly found herself imprisoned in the Tower of London when her cousin Mary arrived in London.
Although she ruled England for only nine days – and in name only – she became a symbol of innocence and integrity to many of the lives that her tragic and short-lived reign touched.
During an age where it was perilous to love and often fatal to be too close to the crown, was Lady Jane Grey the traitor she was made out to be?
Or was she simply a victim of a ruthless plot against the throne?
Presented against a backdrop of glamour and intrigue, this is the tragic story of Lady Jane Grey.
Destiny’s Lady is the third book in Maureen Peters’ continuing series of historical novels. Each volume in the series presents a richly detailed portrait of one of the most fascinating women in history.
