Queen of the Sea by Dylan Meconis

5.0

Margaret has always loved the island where she has lived with the nuns of St. Elysia since infancy (in charge of rescuing sailors in dangerous and remote waters). Everything changes when a series of political prisoners are brought to the island, each of which reveal things about Margaret's country, king, and her quiet life that change how she thinks about everything.

Billed as an alternate history of the skirmishes between Elizabeth and Mary, but it seemed to me to be only very loosely based on those events. Filled with the sort of medieval nerdy stuff I would have LOVED as a twelve year old.
