Summary

Hunted by a shadowy foe in Bloody Mary’s court, Brendan Prescott plunges into London’s treacherous underworld to unravel a dark conspiracy that could make Elizabeth queen - or send her to her death.

England, 1553. Harsh winter encroaches upon the realm. Mary Tudor has become queen to popular acclaim, and her enemies are imprisoned in the Tower. But when she’s betrothed to Philip, Catholic prince of Spain, putting her Protestant subjects in peril, rumors of a plot to depose her swirl around the one person many consider to be England’s heir and only hope: the queen’s half-sister, Princess Elizabeth.

Haunted by his past, Brendan Prescott lives far from the intrigues of court. But his time of refuge comes to an end when his foe and mentor, the spymaster Cecil, brings him disquieting news that sends him on a dangerous mission. Elizabeth is held captive at court, the target of the Spanish ambassador, who seeks her demise. Obliged to return to the palace where he almost lost his life, Brendan finds himself working as a double agent for Queen Mary herself, who orders Brendan to secure proof that will be his cherished Elizabeth’s undoing.

Plunged into a deadly game of cat and mouse with a mysterious opponent who hides a terrifying secret, Brendan races against time to retrieve a cache of the princess’ private letters, even as he begins to realize that in this dark world of betrayal and deceit, where power is supreme and sister can turn against sister, nothing - and no one - is what it seems.

Enjoyable but…

At the end of chapter 6, Queen Mary calls Brendan “Master Prescott” when she only knew him as Beacham (could be Beauchamps, I’ve not seen it written only on audiobook). This bugged me for the rest of the book!! Petty I know, but how on earth did that get past the editor? I did wonder if Steve West was really English because his pronunciation of some words was really weird, especially Yeoman, but other than that, this is such an enjoyable trilogy. I love this period in history and the angle from which this is told is full of intrigue and twists. Looking forward to book 3! Great value that all 3 are included in my membership.

Loved this book. Unputdownable!

The story starts slowly, introducing the characters and setting the atmosphere. It then takes you along a journey into the Tudor world. A story with twists and turns with a satisfying ending.
