England, 1592. After Francis Walsingham’s death, John Shakespeare has withdrawn from intelligence work, but Robert Cecil summons him back into royal service. His assignment is to recover sensitive papers held by Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, whose popularity, military reputation and intimacy with Elizabeth I make him both powerful and dangerous.
Shakespeare enters Essex’s household and uncovers threats extending beyond the missing documents. As court factions compete for influence over the ageing queen, he must judge Cecil’s motives while protecting his own family from people who regard murder as an acceptable instrument of policy.
