In the final treacherous days of Edward VI's reign, Brendan Prescott comes to court to serve as a squire to Robert Dudley. Raised as a foundling, Brendan is determined to rise in his new post and earn his freedom. But the unexpected arrival of the Princess Elizabeth, who vows to uncover the truth about her brother's illness, plunges Brendan into a dangerous gambit of intrigue, treason, and deceit - one that could reveal the secret of his own mysterious past and threaten the throne of England itself.
