Write Your Own History(TM) Queen Elizabeth I
An Interactive Adventure for Young Readers (Ages 7-15)
You are Elizabeth, a 15-year-old princess living at Chelsea Manor, where family, favor, and danger all share the same roof.
Your father, King Henry VIII, is dead. Your future is uncertain. And in a great house filled with watching eyes, even a forgotten glove can become the beginning of a dangerous rumor.
Will you trust those closest to you? Will you recognize a plot before it closes around you? And what happens when the house itself begins to listen?
Follow secret messages with Thomas Parry. Venture into ancient woods. Encounter the legendary Green Man. Face strange guardians, ghostly creatures, and a mysterious stag. Or awaken something inside Chelsea Manor and discover that its walls may be far more alive than they appear.
Meanwhile, the dangers of the real world are closing in.
Thomas Seymour's attention threatens your reputation. Powerful people watch your every move. Your sister Mary stands between you and the throne. One wrong decision could lead to suspicion, interrogation, imprisonment, or an entirely different fate.
