Description
Elizabeth's reign is reaching its winter, and England's old adversaries are fading. But in a world on the brink of change, showing any weakness can be fatal. In 1598, Nicholas Shelby, a physician and reluctant spy, has returned to court with his wife Bianca and their child, bringing an end to their exile in Padua. As he rises to prominence, he finds himself caught up in a deadly game of power and politics. A fragile peace between England and Spain is threatened by the approaching death of King Philip of Spain, and the rising rebellion in Ireland. When the English poet Edmund Spenser sends a mysterious plea for help from his Irish fastness, Robert Cecil dispatches Nicholas to investigate. Soon, Nicholas and his wife Bianca are drawn into a complex web of intrigue, as they navigate the treacherous landscape of court politics and the unpredictable world of Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex.
