Eloise and the Queen: A Novel of Elizabeth I (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966401506)

I, Eloise Rousell, grew up with Elizabeth, the queen. My aunt, Kat Ashley, was her governess, and Elizabeth and I transitioned together from girlhood to womanhood.

My talent for needlework keeps me by Elizabeth's side, creating exquisite gowns as she moves from discarded daughter of Anne Boleyn, to princess, to prisoner and feared rival of her sister, Mary.

Colby has a secret of his own, a deadly one, which becomes more and more perilous the closer Elizabeth comes to the throne.
