"I was so anxious for my own safety in the face of Norfolk's scheming that I hardly thought of the plight of my royal captive."
Another entry from the vault of Nicki's library and its the second volume of Jane Caro's trilogy about Queen Elizabeth. When we last left her she was just about to ascend, and this volume sees her reign. A reign not without sacrifice - she was, after all, known as the Virgin Queen.
The threat of her cousin up North and the worries of succumbing to a marriage without love that could threaten her rule are just part of the daily grind. Caro brings the world to life and there is a real sense of entrapment and intrigue at play.
4 out of 5 queens make personal sacrifices to wield power.
