From the leading lady of Scottish historical mysteries comes her US
debut novel: a shocking tale of betrayal and murder in the court of
Mary, Queen of Scots.
1567, Scotland: no place for a woman. Mary, Queen of Scots, is forced to
abdicate in favor of her infant son. She can rely only on the loyalty of
her ladies-in-waiting, chiefly Marie Seton. Meanwhile the political
turmoil in the country is mirrored behind the walls of beautiful Fyvie
Castle. Lilias's marriage to Marie's nephew, the ruthlessly ambitious
Alexander Seton, goes awry after the birth of yet another daughter. He
blames her--and contemplates drastic action. To what lengths will a man
go to secure a son and heir?
The Green Lady is a shocking tale of intrigue, secrets, treachery, and
murder, based on true events, but seen from a different perspective than
is found in most history books. Casting a fascinating light on the
ruthless nature of power, the story highlights the precarious position
of sixteenth-century women, even those in the most privileged of
circumstances.
