Synopsis

A retelling of the story of Mary Queen of Scots - a saga on a Grand scale, and 1 of the most complex and violent polticial thrillers in British history. Brought up in France, Mary returned to Scotland as a widow at 18 to take up her throne. Beautiful, clever, with immense personal charm, she was totally unprepared for the brutal realities of ruling a country just emerged from civil war.

About this title

From the Publisher:

"In Tannahill's hands, the familiar story of Mary's life...becomes an expert mixture of diabolical plotting and gentle romance. Fatal Majesty is truly a majestic novel whose pace never slackens and Reay Tannenhill's talent for keeping the reader glued to the page reminds one of those endless winners produced by another Scot, Dorothy Dunnett. The Washington Post
