Sinopsis:
Winter, 1558: Elizabeth I has ascended the throne but the first days of
her reign are already fraught with turmoil, the kingdom weakened by strife and
her ability to rule uncertain. Summoned from exile abroad at the new queen's
behest, Brendan Prescott arrives in London to face his shattered past. He soon
finds himself pitted in deadly rivalry with his life-long foe, Robert Dudley,
but when a poison attempt overshadows the queen’s coronation, Elizabeth
privately dispatches Brendan on a far more dangerous assignation: to find her
favored lady-in-waiting, Lady Parry, who has vanished in Yorkshire. Upon his
arrival at the crumbling sea-side manor that may hold the key to Lady Parry's
disappearance, he encounters a strange, impoverished family beset by grief, as
well as mounting evidence that they hide a secret from him. The mystery
surrounding Lady Parry deepens as Brendan begins to realize there is far more going
on at the manor than meets the eye, but the closer he gets to the heart of the
mystery, the more he becomes the quarry of an elusive stranger with a vendetta—
one that could expose both his own buried identity and a long-hidden revelation
that will bring about Elizabeth's doom. From the intrigue-laden passages of
Whitehall to a foreboding Catholic manor and the prisons of the Tower, Brendan
must risk everything to unravel a vendetta that strikes at the very core of his
world, including his loyalty to his queen.
