Synopsis
Historians have long whispered that Elizabeth "the Virgin Queen's" passionate, lifelong affair with Robin Dudley, Earl of Leicester, may have led to the birth of a son, Arthur Dudley. In this exquisite sequel to The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn, Robin Maxwell fashions a stunning fictional account of the child switched at birth by a lady-in-waiting who foresaw the deleterious political consequences of a royal bastard. Set against the sweeping, meticulously rendered backdrop of court intrigues, international scandals, and England's battle against the Spanish Armada, The Queen's Bastard deftly juxtaposes Elizabeth and Leicester's tumultuous relationship with the memoirs of the adventurous son lost to them -- yet ultimately discovered.

Review
Starred review Electrifying prose...enthralling historical fiction.
Julia Barrett author of Presumption and The Third Sister Robin Maxwell is a storyteller who manages a rare originality in a period that has been done and done again. She has given us a glimpse into the tragic affair of the heart between Elizabeth and Robin Dudley. And by introducing us to the person of Arthur Dudley, she had defied stodgy academics, who would have kept us from knowing that such a character existed. Her plausible tale has allowed us to decide for ourselves if Arthur was, in fact, Elizabeth and Leicester's illegitimate son.
