Historical | Thriller

Long misunderstood, condemned as a sorcerer, Dr. John Dee is Elizabethan England’s forgotten hero. As the Queen’s astrologer and consultant in the hidden arts, the mild, bookish Dee finds himself summoned before William Cecil when dangerous questions of Elizabeth’s legitimacy arise. Cecil tasks Dee—along with Robert Dudley, his former student, but also possibly the Queen’s secret lover—with an important mission. They must travel to the famously mystical town of Glastonbury to find the missing bones of King Arthur, relics which, once ensconced in London, will leave no doubt as to the Queen’s supremacy as the rightful Tudor heir. But the quest quickly turns deadly, and Dee finds himself caught in the tangled roots of English magic, unexpected violence, the breathless stirring of first love. . . and the cold heart of a complex plot against Elizabeth.
