Ursula travels deep into the New Forest to investigate rumours of a
plot to overthrow Queen Elizabeth in this gripping Tudor mystery.
May, 1586. Ursula and her retinue return home from a lengthy trip
to discover she has an unexpected visitor. Etheldreda Hope is a
simple countrywoman who has come to Ursula with disturbing tales of
strange goings-on in her rural village. Fearing that Etheldreda's
reports of mysterious forest rites indicate a possible conspiracy
to overthrow Queen Elizabeth in favour of her cousin, Mary Stuart,
the queen's spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham, orders Ursula to
travel to Etheldreda's home to find out what's really going on. On
reaching Chenston village, deep in the New Forest, Ursula discovers
an isolated, suspicious community; the locals deeply in thrall to
the old pagan traditions and beliefs. But are these ancient customs
harmless - or are they part of a genuine conspiracy against the
queen? And, if so, who is behind it? It's not until the night of
Halloween that Ursula will discover the shocking truth.
