Trust no one.

Just 18 years old, and already the Queen of France, Mary Stuart is poised, politically savvy, and confident in her divine claim to the Scottish throne. However, the Scotland she returns to bearls little resemblance to the one she left behind as a child, and she will need every ounce of resolve to hold on to her crown.
