Description
A thrilling story set in Elizabethan London, from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman
One wrong move could lead to death...
1593. Rebecca Lopez, daughter of Queen Elizabeth's physician, enjoys a seemingly privileged life at Court. Yet she guards a dangerous secret. She is Jewish - and her forbidden faith could bring her downfall at any moment.
One night, infuriated by the restrictions imposed upon her, she slips out of her household, disguised as a boy. There she crosses paths with a dashing and daring young man - a young man by the name of Will Shakespeare.
As a dutiful Jewish daughter, Rebecca never considered falling in love with such an unsuitable man. But as she and Will become ensnared in a dangerous web of intrigue, secrets and murder, they must protect each other if they are to escape alive...
