Maggiori informazioni sul libro

At Queen Elizabeth’s palace, intrigue flourishes. A naive girl with a talent for keen observation enters the court, unaware of her role in bringing England—and all of Europe—to the brink of war. When she becomes a junior lady of the bedchamber, Rosamund is tasked by her cunning cousin, Sir Francis Walsingham, to document everything she sees, with the promise of a good marriage as a reward. However, through her brother Thomas, she is drawn into the vibrant world of theatre and becomes entangled with the dramatic playwright Christopher Marlowe. Additionally, she meets Will Creighton, a charming courtier and aspiring playwright, who represents an unsuitable match. Their forbidden romance incurs the wrath of Elizabeth, the Virgin Queen, leading to Rosamund's disgrace and banishment to a remote castle housing Mary Stuart, the imprisoned Queen of Scots. Walsingham expects Rosamund to uncover a plot against Elizabeth, but placing an innocent girl among such seductive players and deceptive games could prove perilous. Yet, this proximity may awaken Rosamund's own desires for passion and intrigue.
