and
Mrs.
Smithin
this
witty
and
thrilling
action-adventure
novel
of
star-crossed
assassins
in
Elizabethan
England.
Perfect

fans
ofMy

JaneandTheGentleman's
Guide
to
Vice
and
Virtue.
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.
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.
Katherine's
opportunity
comes
in
the
form
of
William
Shakespeare's
newest
play,
which
is
to
be
performed
in
front
of
Her
Majesty.
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.
The
mastermind
behind
this
ruse
is
Toby
Ellis,
a
young
spy
for
the
queen
with
secrets
of
his
own.
When
Toby
and
Katherine
are
cast
opposite
each
other
as
the
play's
leads,
they
find
themselves
inexplicably
drawn
to
one
another.
But
the
closer
they
grow,
the
more
precarious
their
positions
become.
And
soon
they
learn
that
star-crossed
love,
mistaken
identity,
and
betrayal
are
far
more
dangerous
off
the
stage
than
on.

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. 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.
Katherine's opportunity comes in the form of William Shakespeare's newest play, which is to be performed in front of Her Majesty. 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.
