Robin Maxwell offers this remarkable sequel to The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn. Inspired by contemporary rumours that the Queen’s love affair with Robin Dudley, Earl of Leicester produced a child, The Queen’s Bastard presents a startling, first-person memoir of Arthur Dudley, the son raised to manhood without knowing his real background. This innovative novel combines Arthur’s tale as an adventurer, soldier and English spy with Elizabeth and Leicester’s tale of love and the loss of their son, only later discovering his fate. Filled with court intrigues and international scandals, the story culminates with history’s greatest naval engagement: England’s battle with the Spanish Armada. | The Queen's Bastard by Robin Maxwell, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
