Hannah Green, a Jewish refugee from the Spanish Inquisition, is recognised as a seer and drawn into service by Robert Dudley. Moving between the courts of Edward VI, Lady Jane Grey and Mary I, she becomes both fool and observer during a disputed succession.

Mary’s Catholic restoration, Wyatt’s Rebellion and suspicion of Elizabeth force Hannah to choose between loyalty, faith and personal freedom. Her fictional story provides a viewpoint on the abrupt religious reversals of mid-Tudor England.
