- Summary
- Margaret has lived on the Island for as long as she can remember, and she loves every inch of it, from the mysterious stone circle left by the Old mysterious stone circle left by the Old People to the windswept beach where she and the Elysian sisters await the ship that brings supplies to their remote convent home. But everything changes when two new arrivals appear on the Island: first William, who will become her dear friend, then Eleanor, who will upend her peaceful existence. Regal, demanding, and ferociously intelligent, Eleanor is the former queen of Albion, banished to the Island by the half sister who has stolen her throne. But Eleanor is no passive exile, and soon Margaret is caught up in her schemes, which put them both in grave danger and reveal startling truths about the Island. Inspired by the early years of Queen Elizabeth the First of England and interwoven with fascinating details of sixteenth-century convent life, this beautiful, highly illustrated novel of alternate history will transport readers to a world of secrets, intrigue, and thrilling adventure. --
