Edward, the young king of England, is mortally ill. His last wish is to kiss a pretty girl. But first, it is necessary to marry off her sixteen-year-old cousin in order to take care of the future of the country. Jane Gray values freedom and is not going to tie the knot with a stranger chosen by Edward. She is a big book lover, and she is much more interested in immersing herself in the next volume of “The Complete History of Beet Cultivation.” Gifford Dudley is Jane’s fiancé. At dawn he turns into a horse, and at sunset he again takes the form of a man. At court there are always traitors and those who weave intrigues. Edward, Jane and Gifford will be drawn into a cunning conspiracy that they must uncover. After all, the fate of the entire kingdom is at stake.
