Official synopsis Publisher
Murder and bloody intrigues at the court of the young Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1566, with a beautiful lady-in-waiting and a handsome young soldier paying the price of it. ‘Mr Duncan McLellan creates in robust and spirited fashion the story of the legendary Marie Hamilton, and the background of Edinburgh in the time of Mary, Queen of Scots, is convincingly conveyed’ -The Times, London. ‘In this vigorous love-story, closely connected with a few months in the public life of Mary Queen of Scots, Mr McLellan does not seek to hide the squalor of the age or the vices of the great men of the time’ – The Guardian, London
