When Ursula's young son is kidnapped, she is lured into an impossible
dilemma.
March, 1581. Queen Elizabeth is once again being urged to consider
marriage to the Duke of Alençon, a French Catholic twenty years her
junior. The prospect of the match is causing unrest throughout the
kingdom. Ursula Blanchard however has more immediate matters to worry
about when her 9-year-old son is snatched away while out riding. If she
is ever to see him again, Ursula must undertake an impossibly difficult
and dangerous mission - and commit an act of high treason. Can she rely
on her half-sister, Queen Elizabeth, for help?
