The Five Year Queen

The year is 1537 and Mary of Guise, young, beautiful and widowed has been chosen as the reluctant bride of James Stewart, King of Scots. The marriage is designed to strengthen the Auld Alliance between France and Scotland. James leads a cultured renaissance court but on the border Henry VIII lurks, seeking an excuse to invade. The Protestant Reformation is tearing Europe apart. Mary must hold her marriage together in the face of drama and tragedy. She must survive, and survive she does, to become the mother of Mary, Queen of Scots.
This is the latest of Janet Walkinshaw's Scottish Reformation novels.
