Book description
Jean Plaidy’s robust historical novels, which range from the intrigues of fifteenth-century Rome through turbulent Tudor and Stuart England to the terrors of the French Revolution, have enthralled readers for over twenty years.
With the death of William of Orange a new reign began, but soon England asked whose reign. Queen Anne’s or Queen Sarah’s?
Impetuous, outspoken and ambitious for her soldier husband, the Duke of Marlborough, Sarah Churchill saw herself as the power behind the throne. But she grew too confident, something which Abigail Hill quickly turned to her own advantage.
Dark intrigues centre on the Queen’s two intimates. But whether in or out of favour, the love of Marlborough and Sarah shines through those fervent years – passionate and indestructible.
