Nottingham, England, 1603
Queen Elizabeth’s long reign has finally come to an end and the Tudor era is over. Scottish King James has been handed the crown of England, but not everyone is happy about that, and there are several plots being hatched to replace him with an alternative.
Bailiff Edward Mountsorrel already has his hands full with an increase in destitute vagrants flooding the county, who seem to be victims of a human trafficker. But before he can find the man responsible, he is tasked by an official with royal authority to infiltrate a local group, who it is rumoured are plotting to assassinate the new king.
Edward enlists the help of fellow bailiff, Francis Barton to find the group, who are hiding out in Sherwood Forest.
But the only way to discover the plot is to place themselves right in the heart of the danger. And there’s a good chance they will be killed before they can save the king…
Who is leading the band of rebels? Can he be stopped?
And is there a connection between the treasonous plot and the desperate vagrants Edward is trying to assist…?
