In 1598, Nicholas Shelby returns to England with his wife Bianca and child after exile in Padua. He is a physician and spy for Robert Cecil, but the world is dangerous.

In Ireland, rebellion against Elizabeth's rule is raging, and if Spain can take Ireland, England will be more vulnerable than ever. When Edmund Spenser sends Robert Cecil an enigmatic plea for help from his Irish fastness, Nicholas and Bianca are caught up in bloody rebellion and the lethal power-play between Cecil and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex.

Elizabeth's reign is drawing to a close, and England's ancient foes are losing strength. However, in a world on the verge of transformation, exhibiting any weakness can be disastrous.
Nicholas Shelby, an unconventional physician and reluctant spy for Robert Cecil, has returned to his homeland with his wife Bianca and their child after spending years in exile in Padua. He is welcomed with open arms at court, and his star is on the rise. However, he has returned to a perilous world.
Two old adversaries are nearing their ultimate fate. War has drained England and Spain, and Elizabeth is entering the twilight of her reign in London. King Philip of Spain is on his deathbed in Madrid. Perhaps now is the time to take one final gamble.
Elizabeth has successfully repelled several Spanish invasions. Nevertheless, she remains in danger. Rebellion against her rule is raging in Ireland, and if Spain can conquer Ireland, England will be more vulnerable than ever.
When England's greatest living poet, Edmund Spenser, sends Robert Cecil an enigmatic and mysterious plea for assistance from his Irish stronghold, Cecil dispatches Nicholas to investigate. Soon, Nicholas and Bianca find themselves entangled in a bloody rebellion, as well as in the deadly power struggle between Cecil and the one man Elizabeth believes can restore Ireland to her, the unpredictable Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex.
