About this ebook

Eliza dreams of being a playwright for the king’s theater, where she will be admired for her witty turns of phrase rather than her father’s wealth.

Beth is beautiful as the day but poor as a church mouse, so she must marry well, despite her love for her childhood sweetheart.

Zabby comes to England to further her scientific studies—and ends up saving the life of King Charles II. Soon her friendship with him becomes a dangerous, impossible obsession. Though she knows she should stay away from the young, handsome king, Charles has a new bride, Queen Catherine, and a queen needs ladies in waiting.

And so Zabby, Beth, and Eliza, three Elizabeths from very different walks of life, find themselves at the center of the most scandal-filled court that England has ever seen.

Ratings and reviews

I loved this book, I felt as if I shared something in common with each Elizabeth. Their quirks and all. However, there was a giant cliffhanger. *sigh* Anyways, the plot was intresting, and I couldn't help but sympathize with both the girls and the queen. 10 out if 10 😊
