EDWARD is the King of England. He’ s also dying, which is inconvenient, as he’ s only sixteen and he’ d much rather be planning for his first kiss than considering who will inherit his crown. . . .
JANE is Edward’ s cousin, and far more interested in books than in romance. Unfortunately for Jane, Edward has arranged to marry her off to secure the line of succession. And there’ s something a little odd about her intended . . .
GIFFORD is a horse. That is, he’ s an Eð ian (eth-y-un, for the uninitiated). Every day at dawn he becomes a noble chestnut steed— but then he wakes at dusk with a mouthful of hay. It’ s all very undignified.
THE PLOT THICKENS as Edward, Jane, and G are drawn into a dangerous conspiracy. With the fate of the kingdom at stake, our heroes will have to engage in some conspiring of their own. But can they pull off their plan before it’ s off with their heads?
The comical, fantastical, romantical, entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey but not really
Lady Jane Grey, sixteen, is about to be married to a total stranger— and caught up in an insidious plot to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. But that’ s the least of Jane’ s problems. She’ s about to become Queen of England.
Like that could go wrong.
