In the court of Elizabeth I, the daughter of the queen’s
powerful spymaster becomes a secret agent, and plays a
dangerous role in saving her country from its ruthless
enemies.
In Tudor England, traitors are everywhere and the queen’s
spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham, is assembling the
greatest intelligence-gathering network in the world.
Walsingham’s only daughter, Lady Frances Sidney, is smart,
courageous, and unhappy in love. She longs for the
excitement of decoding encrypted messages and setting traps
for those working for rival Mary, Queen of Scots. But
Frances's father refuses her any opportunity to contribute
to the desperate effort of keeping England safe.
Then Elizabeth, impressed with Frances’s fiery spirit, calls
her to court as a lady-in-waiting, and Frances seizes the
chance to prove herself. Soon, she wins the trust of her
father’s de-coders and begins her secret work, thrilled with
the freedom to test her talents. But her peril is compounded
as her beauty and wit also attract the romantic attention of
two men, one the reckless Earl of Essex and the other her
own brilliant but low-born servant, Robert Pauley. And when
Frances uncovers the most dire plot of all, she will risk
her father’s condemnation, her heart’s longing, and her very
life to safeguard her queen.
