In a gripping new novel, Queen Elizabeth's spymasters recruit an unlikely agent for a critical mission during a time of uncertainty in 1601. With the queen dying and no heir in sight, the kingdom is on edge, and any thought of her death is considered treasonous. As potential successors vie for position, King James VI of Scotland emerges as the leading candidate. However, the spymasters, seasoned veterans of England's long struggle against terror and religious extremism, suspect that James may not be the Protestant he claims to be. If he secretly adheres to Catholicism, it could undo decades of conflict and lead to chaos. Faced with this dilemma, Geoffrey Belloc, a seasoned operative from England's religious wars, devises a plan to uncover James's true beliefs. He recruits Mahmoud Ezzedine, a Muslim physician abandoned during the last Ottoman diplomatic mission, as his undercover agent. Ezzedine, an outsider desperate to return to his family, becomes the perfect candidate for this high-stakes mission. As the story unfolds, readers are drawn into a world of intrigue and deception, questioning the very nature of truth. Arthur Phillips crafts a unique and thrilling narrative that captivates and challenges at every turn.
