Nothing Proved

by Janet Wertman

Overview

Danger lined her path, but destiny led her to glory...

Elizabeth Tudor learned resilience young. Declared illegitimate after the execution of her mother Anne Boleyn, she bore her precarious position with unshakable grace. But upon the death of her father, King Henry VIII, the vulnerable fourteen-year-old must learn to navigate a world of shifting loyalties, power plays, and betrayal.

After narrowly escaping entanglement in Thomas Seymour's treason, Elizabeth rebuilds her reputation as the perfect Protestant princess - which puts her in mortal danger when her half-sister Mary becomes Queen and imposes Catholicism on a reluctant land. Elizabeth escapes execution, clawing her way from a Tower cell to exoneration. But even a semblance of favor comes with attempts to exclude her from the throne or steal her rights to it through a forced marriage.

Elizabeth must outwit her enemies time and again to prove herself worthy of power. The making of one of history's most iconic monarchs is a gripping tale of survival, fortune, and triumph.

Nothing Proved is the captivating first book in the Regina series covering Elizabeth's life. If you like fascinating characters, court politics, and gripping literary drama, then you'll love this exquisite portrait of an iconic woman.
