Two ladies vying for the affection of a guy.

Two queens battling it out to the death to rule.

The Queen of Scots's unknown narrative.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author Philippa Gregory's brilliant book offers a fresh perspective on one of the most fascinating, passionate, and annoying characters in history. The years that Mary, Queen of Scots, spent in captivity are hardly discussed by biographers. She escaped from rebels in Scotland, believing Queen Elizabeth would provide her protection, only to end herself imprisoned as the "guest" of George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, and his tenacious wife, Bess of Hardwick.

The recentlywed couple welcomes the doomed queen into their house, believing that having the dual role of her jailers and guests would give them an edge in the ruthless Elizabethan court. Their devotion to their queen and to one other is called into doubt as their house becomes the focus of intrigue and rebellion against Elizabeth, much to their dismay when they discover that the mission would render them destitute. They will all face the headsman if Mary is successful in drawing the earl into her own web of betrayal and treason, or if William Cecil, the master spy, connects them to the developing plot to release Mary from her illegitimate confinement.

Philippa Gregory immerses a well-known character in a brand-new story full of suspense, romance, and political intrigue by drawing on fresh research and her concern for historical truth. Readers have been demanding for years that Gregory write Mary's tale, and The Other Queen is the outcome of her resolve to write a book that does this remarkable lady justice.
