  It is 1560. Elizabeth Tudor has been on the throne for a year, and Dr. John Dee, mathematician and expert in the hidden arts, is already famous throughout Europe. But neither Elizabeth nor Dee feels entirely secure. The Queen's religious reforms are proving unpopular, and Dee is regarded with suspicion in an England where the line between science and sorcery is indistinct. And the assignment he's been given by the Queen's chief minister will blur it further: Ride to the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey to bring back certain bones. The mission takes the mild, bookish Dee to the tangled roots of the Arthurian legacy so important to the Tudors. Along with his risk-taking friend and former student, Robert Dudley, Dr Dee encounters unexpected violence, spiritual darkness, the breathless stirring of first love ...and the cold heart of a complex plot against Queen Elizabeth herself.

  It is 1560, and Elizabeth Tudor has been on the throne for a year. Dr John Dee, at 32 already acclaimed throughout Europe, is her astrologer and consultant in the hidden arts... a controversial appointment in these days of superstition and religious strife.

  Now the mild, bookish Dee has been sent to Glastonbury to find the missing bones of King Arthur, whose legacy was always so important to the Tudor line. With him - hardly the safest companion - is his friend and former student, Robert Dudley, a risk-taker, a wild card... and possibly the Queen's secret lover.

  The famously mystical town is still mourning the gruesome execution of its Abbot, Richard Whiting. But why was the Abbot really killed? What is the secret held by the monks since the Abbey was founded by Joseph of Arimathea, uncle of Christ and guardian of the Holy Grail?

  The mission takes Dee to the tangled roots of English magic, into unexpected violence, necromantic darkness, the breathless stirring of first love... and the cold heart of a complex plot against Elizabeth.
