England,1593: Five years on from the Armada and Elizabeth's kingdom seems secure. But there is always a plot afoot...
Robert Cecil,the Queen's spymaster,needs Nicholas Shelby - reluctant spy and maverick physician - to embark on an undercover mission once again. One that he can't refuse,if he wants to keep Bianca Merton safe.
Crossing the seas to Marrakesh in search of a missing informer,Nicholas hunts the dingy back alleys and dazzling palaces for the truth. But his search reveals a deadly conspiracy,one far more difficult to survive than he'd ever imagined.
And back in London the plague has returned,ravaging the streets and threatening everything he holds most dear...
