The long-awaited continuation of the royal cycle!Ideal for fans of Hilary Mantel and Philippa Gregory novels. Everyone who likes "The Tudors", "Game of Thrones", "The Crown" will like it.The Queen's Rival is the third book in Elizabeth Fremantle's series about prominent women in English history. It tells the story of the fate of Penelope Devereux (married Rich), who was able to gain a position at court through strength of character.For the poet Philip Sidney, she was a muse, for Queen Elizabeth I – the daughter of a sworn enemy, for King James – "a beauty with a black soul." Penelope's life was spent in the shadow of brilliant contemporaries, but Elizabeth Fremantle brought the heroine to the forefront.Endowed with beauty and charm, young Penelope and her brother, the Earl of Essex, arrive at court and quickly win the favor of the aging Queen Elizabeth.Penelope is in love with one, and she is married to another, because life at court is not only broken hearts, but also ruined destinies."The Queen's Rival" is a story filled with love and hate. These are the last moments of Elizabeth's reign and the deadly struggle for power in a dying dynasty. This is the fate of an extraordinary woman, worthy of applause."To keep the inner core and not break down, being in the maelstrom of political intrigue and losing those you love, not to take into account the opinions of others, is not this a feat for that time?" – ALEXANDRA MARININA, writer
