The Nine Day Queen by Ella March Chase

Tudor blood will see her crowned and lead to her downfall... Lady Jane Grey is the eldest of the Grey sisters. When her parents scheme to wed her to Prince Edward fails, they plan a far more ambitious and dangerous move to make Jane Queen...
That Lady Jane Grey had two tragic sisters is one of the neglected stories of the Elizabethan ageHigh praise to Ella March Chase, who knows her Tudor history, for putting this fascinating and doomed trio at the centre of an ingenious work of fiction * G.J. MEYER, author of THE TUDORS *
Thanks to the skilled craftmanship of Ella March Chase, the three Grey sisters come vividly to life... an intimate portrait of their struggle in the hostile environment of the Tudor court - a world brilliantly recreated in this thoroughly engrossing novel * KATE EMERSON *

When Ella March Chase was in school, she informed her teacher she didn't need to learn multiplication tables because she was going to be a famous writer when she grew up. At twenty-five, she combined her passion for researchinghistory and spinning stories. Her daughter Kate claims even the family dogs were discovered while researching King Charles II - Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

When travelling to England she fell under the spell of the Tower of London - the infamous Traitor's Gate, the chapel where beheaded queens lay buried, the story of the two princes allegedly murdered by Richard III.Ella began unearthing the obscure historical details that make larger than life figures painfully human. From that fascination, the concepts for The Virgin Queen's Daughter and The Reluctant Queen emerged.
