The Price to Be Paid

What if…  Jane Grey dies before Edward VI, forcing the young king to choose a different heir?

Edward VI is young, but he fears an early death. A devout Protestant dedicated to the reformation, Edward knows he must keep his eldest sister, Lady Mary Tudor, off the throne. But legitimizing his other sister, Elizabeth, pits the sisters against one another. When Mary flees overseas and marries the Holy Roman Emperor, the fight is on…and the prize is England.

Thrust onto the throne before her time, Elizabeth I and her husband, Robert Dudley, must face war or death. Building alliances with France and Scotland, Elizabeth befriends a different Mary: Mary of Scotland, her historical enemy but now her sister of choice. Can this alliance withstand the might of the Holy Roman Empire, or will Elizabeth be no more than another Queen of a Thousand Days?

The Price to Be Paid is an alternate history novella set in Tudor England, perfect for fans of Philippa Gregory, Alison Weir, Laura Anderson, and the Showtime Tudors series. Like all of the books in the Sisters in Throne and Fate series, it can be read in any order.
