Book description
In this final volume, Lucy is asked to continue her work on behalf of
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I. And her romance with Tomas, the queen's
fool, seems to be flourishing - or it is until Mistress Juliette, the
new lady-in-waiting, arrives and Tomas pays her far too much attention
for Lucy's liking. But then Lucy realises that Juliette is telling
lies and is not what she appears to be. Lucy fears for the safety of
the queen as there are always supporters of Mary, Queen of Scots who
are willing to risk all. How will Lucy convince Tomas of her fears
when he just teases her and tells her that she is simply jealous?
