A HistoricalFiction novel written by Creator/PhilippaGregory. It is part of the writer's Tudor series, along with Literature/TheOtherBoleynGirl and Literature/TheBoleynInheritance. The events take place during the reign of Queen Mary I. The story focuses on the power struggles between Mary and her half-sister Elizabeth (the later Elizabeth I).
The story is narrated by the fictional Hannah Green, the 14 year old (at the beginning) daughter of a Jewish bookseller who flees from UsefulNotes/TheSpanishInquisition to England. She becomes the fool of King Edward VI, and later she serves under Queen Mary I. She is betrothed to another English Jew named Daniel Carpenter.
Hannah has an unusual ability that called The Sight by the other characters. Sometimes, when this Sight comes to her, she can see the future, although it mostly comes off as vague prophecies. Other times the Sight is more concrete. Most of the time though it does not come, no matter how much the Queen wants it.

!!This book has examples of:
* AffectionateNickname: Robert Dudley calls Hannah "Mistress Boy", because she wears boys' clothing. He even calls her that at the end after she starts wearing gowns.
* BurnTheWitch: Queen Mary burns heretics, as does the Inquisition in Spain.
* ComingOfAgeStory: To Hannah.
* ConflictingLoyalties: Hannah has a three-way one. First, towards Queen Mary who she sees as a good person, although she is a quite incompetent ruler. Second, to Princess Elizabeth, who is cold and calculating, but who would bring peace and freedom of science to England. Third, to Daniel Carpenter, her betrothed (and later husband), who wants nothing to do with politics.
* DespairEventHorizon: After Mary goes through her second fake pregnancy, she completely loses all hope. It is implied that she actually died of the grief that she lost both her husband and her child (the second time).
* DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent: Hannah spies on Mary to Robert Dudley, who works for Elizabeth, and also on Elizabeth to Mary. She is actually loyal to both of them. She loves Mary and sympathises with Elizabeth's cause.
* FirstPersonPeripheralNarrator: The story is narrated by Hannah Green, the Queen's fool.
* Foreshadowing: Hannah's Sight serves as this. Most of the times her prophecies are vague enough so that the others don't understand, but other times not so much.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She is not called Bloody Mary without reason (although she is never once called that in this novel).
* KnightInShiningArmor: Robert Dudley. He rides to battle in the war against France to show the Queen his loyalty after he loses all his lands. He also remains respectful towards Hannah after she refuses him, and remains cool with his wife when she accuses him of cheating on her.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Subverted. Hannah seems to fall in love with Robert Dudley the first time she sees him, but later she grows out of it.
* MistakenForCheating: Amy Dudley accuses her husband on cheating on her every time he is seen with another woman. Sometimes it is completely ridiculous (e.g. with the Queen), other times not so much (e.g. with Elizabeth).
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Hannah has a really bad time with her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law.
* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: Between Hannah and Daniel, although she realizes how much she loves him after she runs away from him.
* TheProfessor: John Dee.
* PunchClockVillain: John Dee becomes the bishop's clerk, helping him convicting heretics. Although he does it to avoid being accused himself, and he actually saves Hannah from the stake.
* Tomboy: Hannah wears boys' clothes until she gets married. Although it is mostly for disguise, her personality fits this trope too. It appears that she wouldn't make a good housewife.
* TraumaCongaLine: Queen Mary goes through this. First she loses her sister's love, then her first child, then her husband (who never even loved her, but she fails to realize this), then her second child.
* VictorianNovelDisease: All the royal family seems to have this. King Edward dies at the beginning. Mary is described as sick at the beginning and dies 5 years later. Elizabeth is always ill when things go badly for her, though it doesn't cause her death.
* YourCheatingHeart: Daniel has a child from another woman while he is waiting for Hannah in Calais while she remains at court.
