| Description: | Queen of Scotland at six days old. Queen of France at seventeen years old. A widow at eighteen.
The young and trusting Mary, Queen of Scots, is sailing home to her kingdom after years in exile. The danger from her cousin, the English Queen, has not lessened since then. Religious divides threaten to tear the nation apart and, across the border, Elizabeth keenly watches this new threat to her throne.
Amid the furious turmoil and uncertainty in her Scottish kingdom, Mary finds she has one loyal servant–James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell, a ‘glorious, rash and hazardous young man’ known to all as the Galliard. In Bothwell’s courage and love for her, Mary finds serenity, and though fate works against them, no force can conquer their spirit.—Goodreads [Suggest a different description.] |

Author Bio for Irwin, Margaret
Margaret Irwin (1889-1967) was an English writer of historical romance novels. Born in London and educated at Oxford, she married artist John Monsell in 1929. At the time her writing, her novels were quite popular, based primarily in the historical period of Tudor and Stuart England. Nominally centred on female heroines, she was much better at portraying dashing male figures. While her character description and development was strong, her description of events of the time were often muddled and weak which may account for the fact that her work has not stood the test of time. (Twentieth-century romance and historical writers)
