Description

Elizabeth's reign is on the brink of war. Spain gathers a battle fleet to avenge Mary Queen of Scots, and tensions in her government are at breaking point. John Shakespeare, chief intelligencer in the secret service of Sir Francis Walsingham, must navigate the treacherous landscape to protect England's 'sea dragon', Francis Drake. When an intercept reveals a plot to assassinate Drake, Shakespeare is ordered to investigate. A high-born young woman is found mutilated and murdered at an illicit printing house, and Shakespeare soon discovers that nothing is as it seems. He is shadowed by the brutal Richard Topcliffe, a priest-hunter with a mysterious interest in a housemaid and two fugitive Jesuit priests.
