1592. England and Spain are at war and there is peril at home, too. The death of her trusted spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham has left Queen Elizabeth vulnerable. Robert Cecil, Elizabeth's cold but deadly young statesman, summons John Shakespeare. His mission: to find vital papers, now in the possession of the Earl of Essex. Essex is the brightest star in the firmament, the Queen's favourite. But when Shakespeare infiltrates his dissolute world he discovers not only that the Queen herself is in danger, but that he and his family are also a target.
