Synopsis

In 1548, a Marrano girl named Hannah flees the Inquisition in Spain and finds refuge in England, where her gift of prophecy and wit make her the perfect candidate for a dangerous role: a jester at the royal court.

As the Tudor queens Mary and Elizabeth vie for power, both women seek to use Hannah as a spy, and the girl caught between them becomes a pawn in a deadly game of court intrigue.

Philippa Gregory's The Queen's Fool is a richly researched historical novel set during one of the most volatile periods in English history, and it has been a bestseller since its 2003 debut.
