"Buckley draws even the most minor characters with subtlety and
skill, making the dramatic conclusion that much more satisfying."
Publishers Weekly Starred Review February, 1577. Sir William Cecil
has a dangerous new mission for Ursula Blanchard. He has asked her
to visit Stonemoor House on the bleak Yorkshire moors, the home of
a group of recusant women led by Abbess Philippa Gould. In their
possession is an ancient book, and the Queen's advisor, Dr John
Dee, is eager to get hold of it. However, while the Abbess is
anxious to sell the book, others such as her half-sister Bella
believe it to be heretical and demand that it be burned. It is not
Sir William's first attempt to secure the book. His two previous
emissaries vanished without trace. What happened to them - and will
Ursula suffer the same fate?
