But the closer they grow, the more precarious their positions become. When Toby and Katherine are cast opposite each other as the play's leads, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another. The mastermind behind this ruse is Toby Ellis, a young spy for the queen with secrets of his own.

But what she doesn't know is that the play is not just a play-it's a plot to root out insurrectionists and destroy the rebellion once and for all. Katherine's opportunity comes in the form of William Shakespeare's newest play, which is to be performed in front of Her Majesty. With nothing left to lose, Katherine disguises herself as a boy and travels to London to fulfill her father's mission, and to take it one step further-kill the queen herself. When Lady Katherine's father is killed for being an illegally practicing Catholic, she discovers treason wasn't the only secret he's been hiding: he was also involved in a murder plot against the reigning Queen Elizabeth I.
