THE LADY GRACE MYSTERIES
by Lady Grace Cavendish
It's the year 1569, and Lady Grace Cavendish is chronicling her adventures in the court of Queen Elizabeth I. When her mother, one of the Queen's most trusted friends and a Gentlewoman of the Bedchamber, lost her life in a plot to kill the Queen, Lady Grace became a protégée to the monarch.
A spirited thirteen-year-old girl and the Queen's favorite Maid of Honour, Lady Grace spends her time romping through the royal gardens with her friends, a laundry maid and a tumbler, when she's not attending to the Queen. And when a murder occurs in the palace, Lady Grace takes on the role of detective and uncovers the truth behind the deadly plan.
Lady Grace's daybookes are an illuminating blend of court life, royal intrigue, and historical details of the Elizabethan era. Life in the royal household is never dull, and one thing is certain: there will be many more adventures for Grace Cavendish, Her Majesty's Lady Pursuivant.
