Ursula Blanchard must acquire a mysterious medieval manuscript in
the latest enthralling historical adventure. "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?
