The No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling series The second book in S. J.
Parris's bestselling, critically acclaimed series following
Giordano Bruno, set at the time of Queen Elizabeth I Autumn, 1583.
Under Elizabeth's rule, loyalty is bought with blood... An
astrological phenomenon heralds the dawn of a new age and Queen
Elizabeth's throne is in peril. As Mary Stuart's supporters scheme
to usurp the rightful monarch, a young maid of honour is murdered,
occult symbols carved into her flesh. The Queen's spymaster,
Francis Walsingham, calls on maverick agent Giordano Bruno to
infiltrate the plotters and secure the evidence that will condemn
them to death. Bruno is cunning, but so are his enemies. His
identity could be exposed at any moment. The proof he seeks is
within his grasp. But the young woman's murder could point to an
even more sinister truth... Perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom and
Hilary Mantel Praise for S. J. Parris 'A delicious blend of history
and thriller' The Times 'An omnipresent sense of danger' Daily Mail
'Colourful characters, fast-moving plots and a world where one
false step in religion or politics can mean a grisly death' Sunday
Times 'Pacy, intricate, and thrilling' Observer 'Vivid, sprawling
... Well-crafted, exuberant' Financial Times 'Impossible to resist'
Daily Telegraph 'Twists and turns like a corkscrew of venomous
snakes' Stuart MacBride 'It has everything - intrigue, mystery and
excellent history' Kate Mosse 'The period is incredibly vivid and
the story utterly gripping' Conn Iggulden 'A brilliantly unusual
glimpse at the intrigues surrounding Queen Elizabeth I' Andrew
Taylor "Rich in both historical detail and ingenious twists' Sam
Bourne (bestselling author of The Righteous Men) Perfect for fans
of A D Swanston, Paul Walker and E.M. Powell.
