"... Seventeen-year-old Jane Grey was queen of England for nine days. Her father and his allies crowned her instead of the dead king's half-sister Mary Tudor, who quickly mustered an army, claimed her throne, and locked Jane in the Tower of London. When Jane refused to betray her Protestant faith, Mary sent her to the executioner's block, where Jane transformed her father's greedy power-grab into tragic martyrdom. "Learn you to die," was the advice Jane wrote to her younger sister Katherine, who has no intention of dying. She intends to enjoy her beauty and her youth and fall in love."--Provided by publisher.

Edward, Jane, and her betrothed get caught up in a dangerous conspiracy and must rely on their own scheming abilities in order to save the kingdom from a terrible fate.

Lady Jane Grey is forced to accept the crown of England at the age of fifteen following the death of her cousin, Edward, only to find herself facing execution nine days, later after her claim to the throne is challenged by Edward's sister.

Edward is the King of England. He's also dying, which is inconvenient, as he's only sixteen and he'd much rather be planning for his first kiss than considering who will inherit his crown. Jane is Edward's cousin, and far more interested in books than in romance. Unfortunately for Jane, Edward has arranged to marry her off to secure the line of succession. And there's something a little odd about her intended, Gifford. He is a horse. Every day at dawn he becomes a noble chestnut steed - but then he wakes at dusk with a mouthful of hay. It's all very dignified.
