Gloriana Amy P Shaw

It is the Year of Our Lady 13,039. The God-Queen Elizabeth Tudor stands alone at the center of the mighty Anglocatholic church, and the universe of believing Angloworlds. Her Ladies in Waiting are lethal, and her celibate priests are trained spies and assassins, led by the deadly Hound of Heaven, Father Joseph Corbeau. Merdyn Pendragon is the Queen's greatest enemy. He and his consort Daria rule a world guided by Arthurian myth and legend. Determined to end the tyranny of the Queen, they are making peace overtures to the monstrous shape-shifting Zini, who have been at war with the Angloworlds for decades. In a maze of political intrigue and dark magic, only Father Joseph Corbeau holds the key. The Throne of Heaven is the prize, and the War of the Dragon is about to begin. Gloriana is the story of the War of the Dragon, and the first book of the Queens' War Trilogy.
