<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Robert Dudley, the first Earl of Leicester, is happy with his wife, Amy Robsart, but will not let her tell anyone that they are married. Even though they both love each other, Robert values power and popularity much more than he values his wife. After secluding Amy in a house called Cumnor Hall with the help of his henchman, Varney, Robert entertains the idea of marrying Queen Elizabeth I. Fueled by desire for the power of the throne, Robert hides his wife and tries to seduce the queen, who had already taken a liking to the man. When Amy encounters an ex-lover, Tressilian, he tells her of Robert's plan. At first unwilling to believe her husband could be so deceitful, Amy refuses Tressilian's offer to take her away from Cumnor Hall. Overcome with compassion for Amy, Tressilian seeks out her father for help, hoping to help her get away from Robert and foil his plan.
