PHILIPPA GREGORY’S THE LAST TUDOR £3.99

HIGH STREET STORES ONLY, EXCLUDES NI, SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY, UK ONLY

THE Daily Express and WHSmith have joined together to offer The Last Tudor, the captivating new book from Philippa Gregory, for only £3.99.

Jane Grey was Queen of England for nine days. Using her position as cousin to the deceased king, her father and his conspirators put her on the throne ahead of the king’s half-sister Mary, who quickly mustered an army, claimed her crown and locked Jane in the Tower.

When Mary sent her to the executioner’s block, Jane turned her father’s failed grab for power into her own brave and tragic martyrdom. “Learn you to die” is the advice that Jane gives in a letter to her younger sister Katherine, who has no intention of dying. She intends to enjoy her beauty and find love. But her lineage makes her a threat to infertile Queen Mary and, when Mary dies, to her sister Queen Elizabeth.

So when Katherine’s secret marriage is revealed by her pregnancy, she too must go to the Tower. “Farewell, my sister,” writes Katherine to the youngest Grey sister, Mary. A beautiful dwarf, disregarded by the court, Mary finds it easy to keep secrets, especially her own, while avoiding Elizabeth’s suspicious glare.

After watching her sisters defy the queen, Mary is determined to command her own destiny and be the last Tudor to risk her life in matching wits with her ruthless and unforgiving cousin Elizabeth.
