Lucy has been forced to run away from home, as she fears for her safety from her drunken father. She is taken on as a maid at the house of Dr Dee, court magician, upon whom Elizabeth I relies heavily, even down to advising the date of her coronation.

The household is strange and sinister, and Lucy has a nose for intrigue.... And she has more than enough to satisfy her: Lucy stumbles across a plot to assassinate the queen and has to find means to warn her....

Well researched, an endearing main character and a fascinating glimpse of life with Dr. Dee. The delivery was a bit impaired as a number of skips on a regular basis cut off the end of too many sentences. 5 Stars even with this sad irritant.
