"Fire and Faith is the powerful and intimate story of the Queen, the wife, and the woman behind the unfair myth of Bloody Mary. Amanda Schiavo's story is a must read for Tudor fans everywhere." -Clemmie Bennett, author of The Apple and The Tree

Mary Tudor has done the impossible. She has taken back her throne in a bloodless coup, becoming the first woman to rule England in her own right. Now, as Mary navigates this uncharted path, she embarks on a mission to restore Catholicism in a country that has been torn apart by religious strife and become increasingly more Protestant.

Mary urgently feels the need to produce an heir, but her main concern is to preserve the souls of her people. Her methods, however, are gruesome and misguided. Soon Mary finds herself struggling to maintain the love of a country that once adored her, while remaining true to her conscience and her faith.

Impeccably researched, Mary's real story-much different from the "Bloody Mary" title history gives her-is filled with love, loss, betrayal, and an earnest desire to do the right thing.
