Alternately befriended and snubbed, the two girls thrive as the queen's companions, learning to judge her moods and avoid her temper tantrums. But they each have a secret: Katherine is in love with a heir to the great family Seymour, and Mary with the queen's sergeant porter. They come to realise that Elizabeth will never allow either of them to marry fo fear of a Tudor heir to the throne. Their martyred sister's advice is clear - 'Learn you to die', Jane wrote in her famous letter to Katherine. But Jane's tragic story and her fateful choice is only the beginning for her two beloved sisters... L. Near Fine/Near Fine.
