    About this series

    “An Earl of this realm, the Queen’s cousin, to be impersonated by an ill used, frightened serving man with no flesh on his bones? My lord, it’s insanity!”

    July 1554. Perkin Warbeck’s grandson Jan, who has been working as a menial up north to hide his identity, is among a group of Lord Paget’s servants ordered to Winchester to help in the kitchens at Queen Mary’s wedding to Philip of Spain.

    When the group is arrested for brawling with Spaniards, Jan’s resemblance to Edward Courtenay, the Plantagenet Earl of Devonshire, is noticed by the mob, and by Lord Chancellor Stephen Gardiner, who seeks to protect the royal Earl from the Spanish.

    Despite the misgivings of his former employer John White, now Bishop of Lincoln, Jan is drawn into a conspiracy in which he must feign Courtenay in front of Philip of Spain.

      London. January 1559 'A second Warbeck? A weapon for the Catholic cause against Elizabeth?' The Protestant Elizabeth I has succeeded her Catholic half sister Mary on the English throne, but is far from secure. Considered illegitimate by Catholics, she fights Mary's bishops for control of the Church. Her doughtiest opponent is Bishop John White. White's adopted son Jan, grandson of Perkin Warbeck, may have Plantagenet blood. Days before Elizabeth's coronation, he is recognised by Elizabeth's fervent old admirer Kit Ashton and finds himself in the Tower. As Jan fights for his life and White's, others who claim to have evidence about his lineage offer secret support. If he somehow escapes Elizabeth's vengeance, he must make a decision that will affect the future of England.
