MY CONTRARY MARY

MARY is the queen of Scotland and the jewel of the French court. Except when she's a mouse. Yes, dear reader, Mary is an Eðian (shapeshifter) in a kingdom where Verities rule. A small obstacle, to be sure, but one that could cost her a head - or a tail.

FRANCIS is Mary's betrothed and next in line for the French throne. But what used to be a pleasantly far-off prospect is suddenly too close for comfort. You see, he has a secret of his own: no matter how much he loves Mary, a king is the last thing he wants to be.

ARI is the daughter of Nostradamus, the world's greatest seer. A position as one of Mary's ladies-in-waiting seems like the perfect opportunity to prove herself worthy of her father's legacy, but she never predicted she'd stumble upon the kingdom's mousiest secret.

A SNEAKY, SNEAKY TRAP

When the king meets a rather suspicious end, things at the gilded court take a treacherous turn. Mary and Francis are thrust onto the throne, and Ari must decide whether to save her own head or help her royal mistress navigate a veritable viper's nest of conspiracies, traps, and treason. And if Mary's secret is revealed, heads are bound to roll.
