It's 1581 and Barnabas and Temperance make their way to London in
search of Temperance's lost love. But quickly, they call into a
sinister world of poltergeists, spies, lynch mobs, and even a plot
to kill Queen Elizabeth I. Above all else, they meet Doctor John
Dee, who remains one of the most intriguing characters from Tudor
times - a strange mixture of serious scientist and dabbler in the
paranormal. As Maggie Pearson says, 'Nobody in Elizabethan England
knew the difference between astronomy and astrology or chemistry

seems to have been trying to understand how the world worked, but
he soon got side-tracked into magic ...
