Tyrannized by Bloody Mary and the Virgin Queen, the sisters feared love was unthinkable--and the scaffold all but unavoidable. . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaised to fear her royal blood and what it might lead men to do in her name, Mary Grey dreads what will become of herself and her elder sisters under the reigns of Mary Tudor and Elizabeth I. On their honor, they have no designs on the crown, yet are condemned to solitude, forbidden to wed. Though Mary, accustomed to dwelling in the shadows, the subject of whispers, may never catch the eye of a gentleman, her beautiful and brilliant sisters long for freedoms that would surely cost their lives. And so, wizened for her years, Mary can only hope for divine providence amid a bleak present and a future at the whim of the throne--unless destiny gains the upper hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gripping and bittersweet tale of broken families and broken hearts, courage and conviction, \u003ci\u003eThe Queen's Rivals\u003c\/i\u003e recounts an astonishing chapter in the hard-won battle for the Tudor throne. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\"Recommended for readers who can't get enough of the Tudors and have devoured all of Philippa Gregory's books.\"\" --\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal \u003c\/i\u003eon \u003ci\u003eThe Boleyn Wife\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\"Purdy wonderfully reimagines the behind-the-scenes lives of the two sisters.\"\" --\u003ci\u003eHistorical Novel Reviews \u003c\/i\u003eon \u003ci\u003eThe Tudor Throne\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brandy Purdy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0758265999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780758265999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kensington Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2013 pg. 35 - Excellent","brand":"Brandy Purdy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059636793599,"sku":"9780758265999","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c7e8d43-4272-4728-9a06-4d7976f7698f.jpg?v=1685059428","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-queens-rivals-brandy-purdy-9780758265999","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
