Each will fight by any available means for the crown and future of the kingdom.Elizabeth's bitter struggle to claim the throne she believes is hers by right, and the man she desires almost more than her crown, is watched by her 'fool': a girl who has been forced to leave her homeland of Spain, as a Jew fleeing the Inquisition. In a court where truth is wittily denied and lies are mere games, it is the fool who can speak plainly: in these dangerous times, a woman must choose between ambition and love. Elizabeth will not make the same mistakes as her mother. 610 $aGreat britain 610 $aElizabeth i, queen of england, 1533-1603 610 $aFiction 610 $aLiterature and fiction 676 $a823.914 700 $aGregory$b Philippa$f1954-$01449526 702 $aNicholl$b Kati$4oth 702 $aFox$b Emilia$4oth 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910148917703321 996 $aQueen's Fool$93647882 997 $aUNINA
