Om boken

'John Dee and Margaretta Morgan are back in a novel as elegantly written and profoundly atmospheric as ever. I love this series!' Philip Gwynne Jones

'A great adventure, the dark twists of this book remain long after the cover is closed. Not to mention it has a spectacular cast of characters for any Tudor history buff. Williams has written yet another book that cannot be put down' Adele Jordan

'Pacy, absorbing and intelligent' Chris Lloyd

England 1562. Elizabeth's court is besieged by scandal and Catholic plots, when a young German prince arrives in England claiming to be the son of Henry VIII and Anne of Cleves - and so the rightful King. His letters, looks, and jewels seem to prove his case.

As a poison spreads and old secrets unravel, Doctor John Dee and his apprentice, Margaretta, must uncover the truth behind the prince's origins.

Their investigation spans England and German as they uncover forbidden love, revenge, betrayal and a plot against the Tudor Dynasty. But will they uncover the truth in time to save the queen's throne?
