Sinopse

The tragic life story of the three Grey sisters retold by the queen of historical romance in The Last Tudor .

On July 10, 1553, Jane Grey was crowned Queen of England. On July 19 of the same year, she was deposed. Her father and his allies crowned her, but Mary Tudor, the late king's half-sister, promptly raised an army, claimed the throne, and had Jane imprisoned in the Tower of London. When the young Grey refused to renounce her Protestant faith, Mary sent her to the executioner's block, where Joan transformed her father's greed for power into a tragic martyrdom.

"Learn to die" is the advice Joan leaves in writing for her younger sister, Catherine, who does not desire death, but rather a life of beauty, love, and youth. But Catherine is the successor of the insecure and infertile Queen Mary and her half-sister, Queen Elizabeth, who will never allow her to marry and produce a Tudor son capable of claiming the throne. When a pregnancy exposes Catherine's secret marriage, the young woman is imprisoned in the Tower, just meters from her sister's scaffold.

"Farewell, my sister," Catherine writes to the youngest of the Grey family, Mary. Mary Grey—a beautiful woman disdained by the court and guardian of the family's secrets—tries to avoid Elizabeth's watchful eyes. After seeing her sisters defy their respective queens, Mary is fully aware of the danger she faces, but is determined to take control of her own life. What will happen when the last Tudor defies her ruthless and spiteful cousin, Queen Elizabeth?

In The Last Tudor , Philippa Gregory constructs a beautiful portrait of one of the most famous ladies in history, Jane Grey, and her two sisters, three women determined to defy their queen to live a full life.
