A Tudor history retold as fantasy

Lady Jane Grey’s rise to the English throne provides the historical frame for a YA fantasy that openly departs from the record. At sixteen, Jane faces an arranged marriage and a conspiracy involving her cousin, King Edward; the publisher description also points to a reluctant king, a reluctant queen and a noble steed. The combination of royal succession, romance and fantastical elements makes history a springboard for an imaginative tale, not a straightforward account of Jane Grey’s life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in historical fantasy
  • Readers who enjoy romance and romantic comedy alongside royal intrigue
  • Readers open to a playful reimagining of historical events

This comical, fantastical, romantical, New York Times bestselling, (not) entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey is "an uproarious historical fantasy that's not to be missed" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

In My Lady Jane, coauthors Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows have created a one-of-a-kind YA fantasy in the tradition of The Princess Bride, featuring a reluctant king, an even more reluctant queen, a noble steed, and only a passing resemblance to actual history--because sometimes history needs a little help.

At sixteen, Lady Jane Grey is about to be married off to a stranger and caught up in a conspiracy to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. But those trifling problems aren't for Jane to worry about. Jane gets to be Queen of England.

Like that could go wrong.

And don't miss the authors' next fun read, My Plain Jane!
