Winter, 1553–1554. Mary I is on the throne, Protestant opponents are imprisoned and suspicion has settled on her half-sister Elizabeth. Recalled to London by William Cecil, Brendan Prescott is ordered to recover private letters that could connect Elizabeth to a rebellion against Mary’s proposed Spanish marriage. Forced to serve as a double agent within the queen’s court, he moves through prisons, taverns and clandestine networks while Thomas Wyatt’s rising approaches the capital. The case tests Brendan’s loyalty to Elizabeth and exposes the danger of trusting either side in a regime defined by religious reversal and contested succession.
