Descrizione

Now, the young, widowed lady-in-waiting is back, once again defending her mistress, Queen Elizabeth I--this time from a plot to overthrow the Queen and usurp her throne, a task that will test Ursula's sharp wits and investigative skills to the limits. Torn between her duties and her personal life, Ursula has asked permission from the Queen to leave the court for a time. But Queen Elizabeth will only grant that request if Ursula will first assist Sir William Cecil in his investigation of a troubling plot against Elizabeth--one that could place her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots, on the throne of England. Ursula's role will test her sharp eyes and cunning wiles. Already, one of Cecil's most trusted spies is dead. As Ursula follows directions and joins the household of her old friends Ann and Leonard Mason-now under suspicion of involvement in this Catholic plot-Ursula knows her own life may depend on her abilities to discover the truth in a dangerous web of deceit.
