Now a streaming series on Prime Video!

This comical, fantastical, romantical, New York Times bestselling, (not) entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey is “an uproarious historical fantasy that’s not to be missed” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

In My Lady Jane, coauthors Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows have created a one-of-a-kind YA fantasy in the tradition of The Princess Bride, featuring a reluctant king, an even more reluctant queen, a noble steed, and only a passing resemblance to actual history—because sometimes history needs a little help.

At sixteen, Lady Jane Grey is about to be married off to a stranger and caught up in a conspiracy to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. But those trifling problems aren’t for Jane to worry about. Jane gets to be Queen of England.

Like that could go wrong.

And don't miss the authors' next fun read, My Plain Jane!

  • A Hilarious Alternate History: Forget the tragic tale you know. In this version, Lady Jane Grey gets a magical, funny, and far more romantic rewrite in the spirit of The Princess Bride.
  • A Bookish Heroine: Sixteen-year-old Jane would rather have her nose in a book than be queen, but a conspiracy to steal the throne from her cousin King Edward is about to interrupt her reading time.
  • Shapeshifters and Magical England: Welcome to a Tudor England where some people, called Eians, can transform into animals—a secret that could get you crowned or get you killed.
  • A Very Unusual Forced Marriage: Jane is betrothed to a handsome stranger named Gifford. She thinks his biggest secret is his reputation with the ladies. She has no idea he spends his days as a horse.

Über den Autor

Cynthia Hand is the New York Times bestselling author of several books for teens, including the Unearthly trilogy, The Last Time We Say Goodbye, The Afterlife of Holly Chase, The How & The Why, and With You All The Way. She also writes the Jane books with fellow authors Jodi Meadows and Brodi Ashton: My Lady Jane, My Plain Jane, My Calamity Jane, My Contrary Mary, My Imaginary Mary, and My Salty Mary. Before turning to writing for young adults, she studied literary fiction and earned both an M.F.A. and a Ph.D. in fiction writing (although please don't refer to her as "Dr. Hand," because that sounds like a cartoon supervillain.) She currently resides in Boise, Idaho, with her husband, two kids, two cats, one crazy dog, and a mountain of books.
