When Princess Mary ascends the English throne in the sixteenth century, not even a full day passes before Rose is forced to leave Princess Elizabeth and serve the new queen. Mary’s coronation is coming up, and then her wedding to Prince Philip—meaning Rose will be put to work making elaborate gowns. But the religiously devout queen’s next plan is to begin her attack on Protestants—burning them at the stake!
Rose’s dad, Nicholas Oliver, master spy and goldsmith for the royal court, urges her to escape to her home century, the twenty-first, where Rose becomes linked to a young immigrant named Marisol. Rose must protect her from their middle school’s mean girls as well as the looming threat of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
But, now relishing her newfound family, Rose is determined to rescue her father and her best friend, Franny, from the dangers of Queen Mary’s reign. Franny and her family are Protestants, and Mary’s bloody rampage is closing in fast. Is Rose willing to risk everything to save the people closest to her?
