Mary is initially treated well by Queen Elizabeth I, but soon finds herself imprisoned and isolated from the world. Despite her confinement, Mary remains hopeful and determined to regain her freedom and her throne.Through Gillian's perspective, the reader is able to see the daily life of Mary in captivity, including her interactions with her jailers and her attempts to communicate with her supporters outside of England.
