Viper stumbles across the young Tudor Princess Elizabeth and a Crown Jewel that unlocks Viper's repressed memories. To secure a path to her past, Viper ensures Elizabeth's safety, setting the threatened princess upon the Throne of England. Viper's journey leads her to Annys, an unexpected enemy who imprisons her for 400 years. In 2012, Viper is inexplicably freed from her magical prison. With the help of her Foundling, Owain, and his eclectic cadre of helpers, Viper sets off for revenge upon the descendants of those who imprisoned her, starting with Queen Elizabeth II. All the while, a malicious figure exerts his influence from the shadows. Thanks for checking out this sneak peak of "The Queen's Viper."
