Ambitious and shrewd, Bess anticipates royal favour when she and the Earl are asked to give sanctuary to the fugitive Mary Queen of Scots. But the Scottish queen rails against house arrest in a desolate castle and plots to regain her throne.

If Elizabeth’s spymaster William Cecil links the Talbots to the growing conspiracy to free Mary, they will all face the Tower…
