From "an outstanding storyteller," a historical novel inspired by the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth I ( Woman's Weekly).

It is 1559, and Elizabeth Tudor has just succeeded to the throne of England. Beside her are the family who will share the momentous triumphs and setbacks of her reign: the Allgraves. As the Spanish Armada descends upon the country and Mary Stuart lays claim to the English crown, together Elizabeth and the Allgraves will create the Tudor Heritage-a nation whose power was to be feared and respected for centuries to come. Will the queen's determination not to marry sabotage her family's monarchical legacy? And will the Allgraves survive the perilous trials of the Tudor Court? A tale of kinship, loyalty, heroism and reward. Told with Lynda Andrews' trademark vibrant storytelling panache, The Tudor Heritage will appeal to readers of Phillipa Gregory, Emily Purdy and Anne O'Brien.
