An aide to the Tudor queen faces treacheryâand accusations of witchcraftâin this series of âintelligent, historically accurate Elizabethan-era whodunitsâ (Booklist).  Ursula Blanchard is rudely shaken on receipt of a threatening letter from the exiled Anne Percy, Countess of Northumberland, whose treasonous plot against Elizabeth I Ursula helped foil a few months previously.  Ursula dismisses the countessâs letter as idle threats, but then a series of strange events rocks Ursulaâs householdâand Ursula herself is accused of witchcraft. Could Anne Percy really be orchestrating a plot against Ursula from her exile in the Netherlands? And, if so, how can Ursula prove it before she is hanged as a witch?  âUrsula is the essence of iron cloaked in velvetâa heroine to reckon with.â âKirkus Reviews  â[A] sixteenth-century mystery series as complicated and charming as an Elizabethan knot garden.â âThe Tampa Tribune  |
