England, 1586. Francis Walsingham has uncovered a Catholic conspiracy led by Anthony Babington to assassinate Elizabeth I and place Mary, Queen of Scots, on the throne. Rather than arrest the plotters immediately, he allows the scheme to develop in the hope of obtaining written evidence against Mary.
Giordano Bruno is sent inside the conspiracy, where he must help prevent the queen’s murder without exposing Walsingham’s surveillance too soon. As killings and betrayals accumulate, he confronts the human cost of an operation designed not merely to stop treason but to make Mary’s execution politically unavoidable.
