My Contrary Mary - The Lady Janies Book 4 (Unabridged‪)‬

With a royally clever sense of humour, Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows continue their campaign to turn history on its head in this young adult fantasy, ideal for fans of A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue.

Welcome to Renaissance France, a place of poison and plots, of beauties and beasts, of mice and ... queens?

Mary is the queen of Scotland and the jewel of the French court. Except when she's a mouse. Yes, reader, Mary is an Eðian (shapeshifter) in a kingdom where Verities rule. It's a secret that could cost her a head – or a tail.

Luckily, Mary has a confidant in her betrothed, Francis. But things at the gilded court take a treacherous turn after the king meets a suspicious end. Thrust onto the throne, Mary and Francis face a viper's nest of conspiracies, traps and treason. And if Mary's secret is revealed, heads are bound to roll.
