Regal and dazzlingly beautiful, Mary Stuart succumbed to the irresistible impulses of passion, gambling away her throne for love. In a deadly game of power against her envious cousin, Elizabeth I, she stopped at nothing: Unbelievable acts of abduction, rape, and even murder were performed at her behest. Often misunderstood yet also revered, she lost not only her kingdom but her life. Betrayed by those she trusted most, pampered and adored even as she was led to her own beheading, she remained an enigma five centuries after her death. Her legendary life- as retold by Alexandre Dumas- mesmerizes the listener with its drama and intrigue.
