My Lady Jane

Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, Jodi Meadows

This alternate version of 16th-century England follows Jane Gray as dying King Edward names her queen and arranges her marriage to support her claim. Magic divides the country: Edians can turn into animals, while non-magical Verities despise them and seek to eliminate magic. Jane discovers that her new husband, Gifford, transforms into a horse. Edward also learns he is an Edian and flees an attempt on his life. Jane’s step-sister Mary threatens both the crown and the Edians.
