Summary

"So perish all of the queen's enemies." With these words, the brief career of Lady Jane Grey, destined from childhood for hardship and heartache, came to an end. Was she a traitor, or was she but a victim?She was born into luxury, in the shadow of her great-uncle Henry VIII, and befriended by his sixth queen, Catherine Parr. But her grasping and cruel parents used her in their attempts to further their own ambitions.Married at the age of sixteen as part of a plot to gain the throne, proclaimed queen almost immediately, and imprisoned in the Tower ten days later, she was a pawn in the hands of others.It was an age when it was always perilous to love and often fatal to stand too close to the throne, an age where dream and nightmare went hand in hand, an age brilliantly exemplified by Destiny's Lady, Jane Grey.
