Publisher's Summary:
An original novel based on the hit television series, Reign.
Since Mary, Queen of Scotland was a child, the English have wanted her country and her crown. She is sent to France to wed its next king - to save herself and her people. It's a bond that should protect her, but there are forces that conspire...forces of darkness, forces of the heart. Mary's rule, and her life, has never been safe.
Find out what happens to Mary, Francis, Bash, and the rest of the French court after the season one finale.
Long may she reign.
Members Reviews:
Like a crudely done painting of an original masterpiece, this lacks the depth of passion that makes Reign so beloved.
I really didn't have high expectations but I was somewhat desperate having just finished Reign. The writing was ok---as someone who typically reads authors such as George RR Martin or Diane Gabaldon, it was not descriptive enough, and I felt there were so many different ways ---words, descriptions, backgrounds information--- that the author could have used to give more depth and originality to the piece. What ultimately was missed, and what made this just an "okay" book" rather than a "good book" was that the author failed to bring readers fully into the story; she missed the mark completely by failing to connect and enhance upon the core personalities that made these characters not just historical, but beloved; uniquely and undeniably Reign. Francis, Mary, Bash, Lola and even Catherine, who holds such a grounding point in the TC series with her fierce passion for her family, broke from character in ways that simply undermined the entire story. This could have been quite good, but unless the author learns to go deeper into what makes a character uniquely themselves, how to enhance and add dimension to an already well-loved story---it will never be great. I give credit for the attempt; there is some talent hiding here. It simply needs to be given more depth to make it truly come alive.

Author did a lovely job!
Five Stars
Good book, but the best part is the perfect condition in which i received it.
Captivating
Great captivating story. It is so much richer if you have watched the program tv version, but works on its own, too. Quick, can't put it down kind of book.
