The Tudor Court is in turmoil…
1536, London
Thief Gwynnie Wightham has a new master in Elric Tombstone. She may follow his word, but she has little loyalty for him, and there is even less friendship between them.
She has agreed to assist him to make sure he keeps his word to never go hunting for her mother. For if Emlyn is ever found, she will be tried not just for being a jewel thief, but for murder.
Tombstone’s task for Gwynnie is to investigate Captain Daundelyon, for there has been a tipoff that the Dandy Lyon, as he's nicknamed, is a French spy, come to ingratiate himself with the king.
Gwynnie follows Captain Daundelyon around, noticing he's a common thief, almost as skilled as her in her deception, but she finds no hint of his spy work.
But the Tudor court is cracking into factions – a great rift has swelled between King Henry and Queen Anne Boleyn, and what she does find is that Daundelyon’s presence is inextricably linked with Queen Anne's downfall.
What is Daundelyon’s relationship to Anne Boleyn? Is he plotting against the king?
And can Gwynnie prove her worth and find a way to clear her mother’s name…?
