Now, passion is ended, yet the newcomer to court manages to rekindle one last, lingering flame in the Virgin Queens heart, and for a few glorious years Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, enjoys the place he coveted as Queens favourite, Over ambitious, lulled into a false sense of security by Elizabeths love, Essex begins to believe he can rule the Queen. He dares to make a marriage with the young Frances Walsingham, widow of Sir Philip Sidney, but is discovered, and for the first time learns what it is to earn Elizabeths anger. Time and again he matches his strength against that of the mighty Tudor. Time and again he wins until finally he thought he could reach for the throne itself. This book tells of the glorious rise and tragic fall of the Queens final love, Robert, traitor Earl of Essex, and of the three women who love him, Elizabeth Tudor, Frances Walsingham the wife, and Lettice Knollys, the mother.
