Long Synopsis: = As captivating now as it was more than four centuries ago, the 
reign of Elizabeth I-with its scandal, intrigue, and resilience-has sparked
the imaginations of generations. In her sweeping historical debut, Ella March 
Chase explores a thrilling possibility: that the Tudor bloodline did not
end with the Virgin Queen. Tucked away in the country estate of her beloved 
father, Lord Calverley, young Nell de Lacey feeds her hungry mind with 
philosophy,
language, and studies of science. Her mother, once a devoted lady-in-waiting to 
Henry VIII's last wife, Katherine Parr, would rather her daughter stop
dabbling in the grand affairs of men and instead prepare for her eventual 
duties as a wife. She knows all too well what menace lurks in royal courts. But
Nell's heart yearns for something more, and a chance meeting with Princess 
Elizabeth, then a prisoner of the Tower of London, pushes her closer toward
finding it. Now, years later, Nell's chance arrives when she is summoned to 
serve as a lady-in-waiting to the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth. Nell is 
entranced
by the splendor and pageantry of royal life, unaware of the danger and 
deception that swirls around the monarch and her courtiers. But a lingering 
rumor
about nine unaccounted for months in the Virgin Queen's past reignites when the 
flame-haired Nell-a mirror image of Her Majesty both physically and 
intellectually-arrives
at court. Quickly she catches the eye not only of the cunning Elizabeth, but of 
those who would see the queen fail. With strong evidence to connect Elizabeth
to her newest maid of honor and the politics of England in turmoil, the truth 
could send Nell and those she loves to the Tower to join in the wretched
fates of those who've gone before her. Engrossing and enlightening,The Virgin 
Queen's Daughterbrings to life one of the greatest mysteries of one of the
greatest monarchs. Ella March Chase's vivid storytelling gives due credence to 
a daughter who might have been and a mother who never was. From the Hardcover
edition.
