My Lady Jane
Book 1 of the The Lady Janies series
474 pages · First published 2016
Lady Jane Grey expects an arranged marriage to Gifford Dudley to be inconvenient, but discovering that her new husband sometimes turns into a horse is only the beginning of the political chaos surrounding the English throne. In this alternate Tudor England, magical people called Eðians can transform into animals, and conflict over their rights replaces much of the historical religious struggle. Jane, Gifford, and King Edward VI become entangled in conspiracies that bear only a cheerfully irreverent resemblance to recorded history. Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows turn the tragedy of the Nine Days’ Queen into a comedic YA fantasy filled with romance, shapeshifting, adventure, and deliberate historical mischief.
