Description
Warden of the Queen’s March by Nigel Tranter brings to life one of the most turbulent chapters in Scottish history through the eyes of Thomas Kerr of Ferniehirst. As a loyal supporter of Mary, Queen of Scots, Kerr finds himself caught in the relentless power struggles that shaped the sixteenth century. From the influence of John Knox and the Regent Moray to the ambitions of Darnley, Bothwell, and Elizabeth Tudor, the Queen faces betrayal and political intrigue at every turn.
Amid these dangers, Mary relies on Kerr—whom she calls her Protector—to safeguard her honour and her throne. At only eighteen, Mary Stewart must navigate treacherous alliances, personal misjudgements, and the ruthless ambitions of those around her. Through Tranter’s vivid storytelling, readers are drawn into the romance, drama, and peril of a queen’s ill-fated reign and the unwavering loyalty of the man who stood by her side.
This sweeping historical novel is perfect for readers who enjoy rich, character-driven tales of loyalty, betrayal, and political intrigue set against the backdrop of Scotland’s dramatic past.
