Long live the queen: The authors who brought you the New York Times bestselling My Lady Jane kick off an all-new historical trilogy with the classy, courtly tale of Mary, Queen of Scots--perfect for YA fantasy and romance readers. Welcome to Renaissance France, a place of poison and plots, of beauties and beasts, of mice and . . . queens? Mary is the queen of Scotland and the jewel of the French court. Except when she's a mouse. Yes, reader, Mary is an Eðian (shapeshifter) in a kingdom where Verities rule. It's a secret that could cost her a head--or a tail. Luckily, Mary has a confidant in her betrothed, Francis. But things at the gilded court take a treacherous turn after the king meets a suspicious end. Thrust onto the throne, Mary and Francis face a viper's nest of conspiracies, traps, and treason. And if Mary's secret is revealed, heads are bound to roll. With a royally clever sense of humor, Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows continue their campaign to turn history on its head in this YA fantasy ideal for fans of A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue.

★""Fast-paced, well-plotted, frequently hilarious--as delicious as the finest French pastry."" -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Praise for My Calamity Jane: ""Witty and winsome, this rollicking tall tale makes its own rules."" -- Booklist (starred review) ""Full of twists, turns, and laugh-out-loud humor, this tongue-in-cheek feminist alternative history is impossible to put down. A thrilling alternative history that sparkles with wit and charm."" -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for My Plain Jane: ? ""The authors' affection for their source material is abundantly clear in this clever, romantic farce."" -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) ""A delightfully deadpan deconstruction of a Gothic novel, with a ghost almost no one can see providing the commentary. Marvelously self-aware and almost too clever for its own good."" -- ALA Booklist (starred review) ""A madcap story of ghosts, possession, revenge, and murder. Humorously blends fact with fiction and offers a gentler, more hopeful outcome for Charlotte, her siblings, and her heroine."" -- School Library Journal (starred review) Praise for My Lady Jane: ""Wacky, irreverent, and just plain fun. This fantasy-adventure politely tips its hat to history before joyfully punting it out of the way. An utter delight."" -- Booklist (starred review) ""An uproarious historical fantasy that's not to be missed."" -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) ""Gleefully anachronistic comedy."" -- Kirkus Reviews
