With England in a state of high alert as King Philip of Spain amasses a vast fleet of warships ready to invade, Queen Elizabeth and her advisors seek a possible alliance with the Duke of Parma, Governor of the Netherlands. But their plans suffer a major setback when one of their most reliable spies is found murdered in the Hertfordshire countryside, shot dead by a crossbow bolt as he was transporting secret correspondence between the queen and the duke. The queen's half-sister and occasional secret agent, Ursula Stannard, is happy not to be involved for once. But when Ursula's ward Mildred elopes with the handsome yet mysterious Berend Gomez, Ursula is forced to follow the pair to Brussels, where she finds herself plunged into a hotbed of intrigue and rumour at the Duke of Parma's court, a place where no one is to be trusted. Can Ursula rescue Mildred, effect an alliance with the duke, and stay alive in the process? The future of England depends on it."--Publisher. 600 10 $a Blanchard, Ursula $c (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 648 7 $a 1558-1603 $2 fast 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Elizabeth, 1558-1603 $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Detective and mystery stories. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 5 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032612.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221213010444.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220202010500.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220114010109.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220104014427.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6075F2C66D2E11ECB3EC20C24FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
