Book excerpt: Anne Lightfoot's quiet life in the forest with her father is shattered by the appearance of Francis Walsingham, Queen Elizabeth's spymaster. First thrown into the Tower of London then freed to serve the queen, Anne finds herself at the heart of a dangerous mystery. Alone, without her father or Captain Blake, her childhood protector, Anne must decide who can be trusted to help uncover the secrets being kept from her. Should she trust Nicholas de Byle, a young and rebellious courtier determined to help her, or Willem, a foreign nobleman with a scandalous answer to the question of Anne's identity? From the chill of the Tower to the heat of Queen Elizabeth's stare, we follow Anne through a maze of relationships, grand occasions and perilous challenges to her story's thrilling conclusion.
