A Dangerous Inheritance tells the dramatic story of two heroines, separated by time, but intriguingly linked by history's most famous murder mystery. Lady Katherine Grey has already suffered more than her fair share of tragedy. Eight years ago her older sister, Lady Jane Grey, was beheaded for unlawfully accepting a crown that was not hers. Now, in risking all for love, Katherine incurs the wrath of her formidable cousin, Queen Elizabeth I, who sees her as a rival for her insecure throne. Interlaced with Katherine's story is that of her distant kinswoman, Kate Plantagenet, the bastard daughter of Richard III. Kate loves her father, but all is not well at court, and before long she hears terrible rumours that threaten all she holds dear. Like Katherine Grey, she falls in love with a man who is forbidden to her. Then she embarks on what will prove to be dangerous quest, covertly seeking the truth about the fate of her cousins, the Princes in the Tower. But time is not on Kate's side - or on Katherine's either..... PLEASE NOTE: A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.84 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST L. First. Hard Cover.
