I like this even better. "Wertman’s prose is sharp and deliberate, capturing the unease of a girl who must measure every word, every glance, knowing one misstep could cost her life."

Nothing Proved - Historical Novel Society After King Henry VIII’s death, fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Tudor is left in a world where every decision could mean her downfall. Once the cherished daughter of a king, she is now a political liabilit...

"For those drawn to Tudor history, Nothing Proved offers a gripping, unvarnished look at the making of a queen, one who must first endure captivity before she can claim a throne. Highly recommended."

"AAHHHHHH!! "Thinking this has been done before? If so, I don't blame you; Gloriana has inspired novelists for ages, but the comparisons end there. Wertman's subtly nuanced portrait of Anne's daughter is unlike any I've read before."
