In a dank cell, Queen Mary, the first woman to wear the English crown, meets the Archbishop she will condemn to burn… and confronts her own bloody reputation.
She’s a failed monarch, a delusional madwoman unfit to rule, a Bad Thing. Bloody Mary is vilified in history. But what of the woman behind the reputation? In Burn, a conversation between the monarch and the man she will send to die, a defiant Mary tells her own story.
