Antagonized by the Catholicism of King James II , the people plot to drive him from the throne. But at the heart of the plot is a deep betrayal: the defection of the daughters James loves, Mary and Anne . Both raised Protestant according to the wishes of England, the sisters support Protestant usurper William of Orange, Mary's husband , who lusts after the British crown. Passive Queen Mary is subservient to her husband's wishes, while Anne is desperate to please her childhood friend Sarah Churchill , a bold and domineering woman determined to subdue Anne, the queen-to-be, and rule England herself. Intrigue and political drama run high as the sisters struggle to be reconciled with each other-and with the haunting memory of the father they have exiled... The Stuart saga continues with The Queen's Favourites.
