    About this audiobook

    Elvish Conspiracies Afoot! Heroine, Arise!

    Trouble, trouble, the plots do bubble! King Henry VIII has finally joined his unmerry wives in the afterlife, and
    the Unseleighe Sidhe, the Dark Elves, are bent on subverting the English throne and bringing back the sorrow, horror
    and despair of the Middle Ages. After all, that’s what made the bad old days so much fun—for them!

    Enlightenment’s hope? A mere fourteen-year-old girl. A bright and adaptable fourteen-year-old to be sure, but
    still—what chance has such a young thing against the Unseleighe Sidhe’s tangled web of treachery and depravity?
    A pretty good one. You see, the girl’s name is Elizabeth, and that fiery red hair is no lie. Whether immortal lord or
    malicious mortal, young Elizabeth Tudor’s enemies cross her at their peril!

    Two hugely popular master storytellers of historical fantasy brew up an elvish conspiracy for the ages in this
    exciting sequel to This Sceptr’d Isle and Ill Met By Moonlight.

      More politics, more Underhill. This one is rather depressing, with all the disasters attending the good guys. Actually, having read the next book before I wrote this review, I can't remember where this book stops and the next one starts. With all the various viewpoints, the whole series is a bit choppy, and there's no sharp demarcation between books - though each one ends on a reasonably solid note. Not bad, definitely not among my favorite Lackeys.
