Description

To restore the power of Spain and bring England bak to the iron embrace of Holy Church, the young Phillip agrees to marry Mary Tudor. Set against the glittering courts of sixteenth century Europe, the Spain of the dreaded Inquisition and the tortured England of Bloody Mary, this powerful novel traces the story of Phillip II - and of the women who came to know this cold-blooded monster only as a devoted father and sensual lover.
