Sir Renold Mandeville and his secretary Anthony race to prevent an assassination when Charles II attends Lord Ravenwood’s masque. Political violence, court entertainment and secret loyalties turn a private performance into a matter of state.
The second Mandeville novel carries the recurring characters into the Restoration. Music and ceremony mask the instability left by civil war and exile, while Trease uses the working world behind a masque to connect court culture with political surveillance.
