\u2018Watch The Lady\u2019 plunges you back into life at the Tudor court, so magnificently depicted by Elizabeth Freemantle in \u2018Queen\u2019s Gambit\u2019 and \u2018Sisters of Treason.\u2019 Mainly set in the last years of Elizabeth I\u2019s reign, with all the tension of a dying dynasty, we meet Penelope Deveraux, who is forced to marry a man she does not love. Penelope must negotiate life at court, trying to avoid the fate of her mother (who dared to marry the Queen\u2019s favourite), while supporting her brother, the Earl of Essex, as he plays his deadly game with his rival, Robert Cecil. \u2018Watch The Lady\u2019 is a fitting end to Fremantle\u2019s fabulous Tudor trilogy.<\/p>\n
