From the Inside Flap:
ed Lady Mary, elder daughter of the Duke of York, in line for England's throne -- and thrust this gentle beauty, at age fifteen, into a loveless political marriage with her cold-hearted Protestant cousin, William of Orange.

Among these towering figures Lady Mary's lot had been cast, among them she would grow strong or perish....
