Bess Throckmorton's only hope for the future is to go to Court and become Elizabeth's Maid of Honour. It is here, amongst the glamour and machinations of the Elizabethan court, and under the elderly Queen's jealous eye, that she falls in love with Sir Walter Ralegh. Bess and Sir Walter are imprisoned in the Tower for marrying, but on their release are free to continue their lives together. Despite Sir Walter's frequent travels and adventures, their intense love for each other never dwindles. They endure thirteen years of imprisonment during James' reign and only a bloody death has the power to end their life-long affair.
