'John Dee and Margaretta Morgan are back in a novel as elegantly written and profoundly atmospheric as ever. I love this series!' Philip Gwynne Jones 
'A great adventure, the dark twists of this book remain long after the cover is closed. Not to mention it has a spectacular cast of characters for any Tudor history buff. Williams has written yet another book that cannot be put down' Adele Jordan

England 1562. Elizabeth's court is besieged by scandal and Catholic plots, when a young German prince arrives in England claiming to be the son of Henry VIII and Anne of Cleves - and so the rightful King. His letters, looks, and jewels seem to prove his case. 
As a poison spreads and old secrets unravel, Doctor John Dee and his apprentice, Margaretta, must uncover the truth behind the prince's origins. 
Their investigation spans England and German as they uncover forbidden love, revenge, betrayal and a plot against the Tudor Dynasty. But will they uncover the truth in time to save the queen's throne?

    A voice with no body speaks in the summerhouse — commanding, reasonable, unanswerable — and a devout Pennsylvania family does what it says. Brown was the first American to live by his pen, threw over the law for it, and wrote four novels in fifteen months; he took a real Yates murder case, added ventriloquism, and produced the first American Gothic novel.

    E. Nesbit’s The Mass for the Dead is a haunting tale of love, guilt, and the supernatural — a gothic romance where the boundaries between devotion and damnation blur in the flicker of candlelight. 
    When Jasper learns that the woman he loves is to marry another man — a wealthy Spaniard named Benoliel — his sleepless night turns into a waking nightmare. In the still hours before dawn, he hears a strange and beautiful music: a funeral mass for the dead. But when his beloved Kate confesses she too heard the same ethereal requiem, their destinies become entwined in a chilling mystery that stretches beyond the veil of life and death. 
    Driven by love, haunted by fate, and shadowed by the sins of pride and greed, The Mass for the Dead captures the eerie elegance of Victorian gothic fiction — where faith becomes fear and every vow carries a ghostly echo. 
    Narrated by Christopher Mireider, this dramatized performance brings E. Nesbit’s rarely heard masterpiece to life with haunting clarity and emotional depth. 
    Perfect for fans of Crimson Peak, The Turn of the Screw, and Wuthering Heights.
