What if the queen should die?
Flintoff, John-Paul2016
Book
Windsor Castle, 1714. Queen Anne is dying, with no living offspring. Nobody knows who will succeed her. There are two likely successors: the half-brother she always refused to acknowledge, and the cousin who once turned her down in marriage. She hates them both. Courtiers, politicians, and hangers-on - including the writers Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift, and Alexander Pope - plot to get whatever they can from the queen while she lives, and to steer the succession to their own advantage. But nothing can be resolved until the queen has come to terms with her children's deaths and repaired the terrible wrong she did many years before.
