In 1557, fifteen-year-old Queen Mary Stuart of Scotland has been living in a convent in France since the age of nine in anticipation of her marriage to Prince Francis, heir to the throne of France. After a failed attempt to poison her, Mary is brought to French court for safety, where she is reunited with her Scottish handmaidens and childhood companions Greer, Kenna, Lola and Aylee. Queen Mary discovers that her marriage isn't assured, due to ever-changing politics and Francis's doubts over the wisdom of a Scottish alliance.

Queen Mary also catches the eye of Prince Francis's younger half-brother Bash, illegitimate son of King Henry with his mistress, Duchess Diane de Poitiers. When Queen Catherine's adviser, Nostradamus (Rossif Sutherland), has a vision that Francis's impending marriage will cost him his life, she arranges for Queen Mary to be drugged and raped by Colin (Ashley Charles), a Scot betrothed to Lola. Queen Mary is warned ahead of time by an unknown figure to not drink the drugged wine, and so manages to stop Colin. Before she can question him, Colin is executed by order of the King and Queen.

Prince Francis's younger brother, Prince Charles (Peter DaCunha), is to be betrothed to Madeleine (Vanessa Carter), a French noblewoman. Madeleine arrives by ship, escorted by an unexpected English envoy led by Simon Westbrook (Luke Roberts), who are welcomed at court for helping Madeleine arrive safely. Mary learns from Charles that a girl named Clarissa (Katie Boland) lives in the secret passageways of the castle; Mary suspects she's the one who warned her of the rape plot.

When Queen Mary avoids what appears to be another poisoning attempt, she asks Clarissa for information. She is led to Simon, learning that he feigned the poisoning to scare her out of the alliance with France. Simon points out that Queen Mary already has enemies in French court and will not be safe, but Mary declares her intent to stay and stand against the English. Queen Mary suspects Catherine as responsible for the various plots and shares this with Francis, who believes her and warns his mother to leave his fiancee alone. Queen Mary and Prince Francis are for now determined to be a united front against their mutual enemies.

Queen Mary tells Prince Francis of Prince Tomas's proposal, which prompts Prince Francis to blackmail King Henry, threatening to tell Queen Catherine and Lady Diane of his new affair with Kenna. King Henry is pleased by Francis's initiative and agrees to send six companies of troops to Scotland. Bash rides out to deliver the orders to the troops but returns gravely wounded; someone warned the English, who ambushed the French troops before they could set sail.

But when a pagan priest arrives, Bash reveals it as a trap and kills the pagan instead.

Bash almost lets the thief free, but when the thief identifies him as the King's bastard son, Bash pushes him off a cliff. King Henry publicly declares that Kenna is his mistress. But unknown to her, King Henry is still keeping Lady Diane. Prince Francis tells Queen Mary that in order to prevent other people from using their feelings against them, they should be free to be with other people; the only exception is that Queen Mary cannot be with Bash.

Queen Mary confronts Nostradamus, who adds that one of her devoted ladies will die soon. Queen Catherine learns through Kenna of Lady Diane's plot to legitimize Bash. Furious, Queen Catherine blackmails Lady Diane, with the order her to poison Kenna and leave King Henry for good. Lady Diane refuses to poison Kenna but leaves the castle.

Queen Mary counter-proposes that Bash be legitimized as King Henry's new heir and she marry him instead; if King Henry agrees, Queen Mary will claim the English throne as King Henry wants. As this would require an annulment of King Henry and Queen Catherine's marriage, and would turn Prince Francis and his two younger brothers into bastards. Queen Catherine sends an assassin to kill both Queen Mary and Bash.

King Henry II has the assassin killed before he can complete his task, and Queen Catherine is imprisoned. King Henry II agrees to Queen Mary's terms and leaves for Rome to seek the Pope's approval for Bash's legitimization.
