As sisters they share an everlasting bond As queens they can break each other s hearts There is only one bond that I trust between a woman and her sisters We never take our eyes off each other In love and in rivalry, we always think of each other When Katherine of Arag n is brought to the Tudor court as a young bride, the oldest princess, Margaret, takes her measure With one look, each knows the other for a rival, an ally, a pawn, destined with Margaret s younger sister Mary to a sisterhood unique in all the world The three sisters will become the queens of England, Scotland, and France.United by family loyalties and affections, the three queens find themselves set against each other Katherine commands an army against Margaret and kills her husband James IV of Scotland But Margaret s boy becomes heir to the Tudor throne when Katherine loses her son Mary steals the widowed Margaret s proposed husband, but when Mary is widowed it is her secret marriage for love that is the envy of the others As they experience betrayals, dangers, loss, and passion, the three sisters find that the only constant in their perilous lives is their special bond, powerful than any man, even a king.
