She is banished, forbidden to see her mother, and is living in constant fear of death once Anne takes the throne and her mother's marriage to the King is declared null and void. Years pass, and Henry grows even colder to his daughter. Mary's father develops a strong attachment towards Anne Boleyn, who is slowly rising in the ranks as her mother is lowered.
This prompts him to demand an annulment of his marriage to Catherine, which would make the princess a bastard. Life goes well for the Princess until her father meets and falls in love with Anne Boleyn. The book begins in 1527, when Princess Mary, the daughter of Catherine of Aragon and King Henry VIII, learns she is to be betrothed to the king of France. First published in hardcover in 1999, it is the first book in Meyer's Young Royals series. Mary, Bloody Mary is about the teen years of Queen Mary I of England. The portrayal of each royal is biased according to the position of the observing royal, which provides an interesting window into the life of royalty. In some books a character can be portrayed as a villain, whereas in a different book that same character is the heroine. The books commonly feature inside looks at what the lives of each girl would have been like, including daily routine, protocol, out-of-the-ordinary experiences, and first-hand views of the lives of the people surrounding each of them. The most recent titles in the series are: The Wild Queen: The Days and Nights of Mary, Queen of Scots (2012) Victoria Rebels (2013), about Queen Victoria of the British Empire and Anastasia and Her Sisters (2013), about the daughters of Tsar Nicholas of Russia, specifically Anastasia. The French books in the series are Duchessina (2007), about the life of Catherine de' Medici, and The Bad Queen: Rules and Instructions for Marie-Antoinette (2010). Books in the series are mostly about the English Tudors, such as: Mary, Bloody Mary (1999) Beware, Princess Elizabeth (2001) Doomed Queen Anne (2002) and Patience, Princess Catherine (2004).
