Description:

The Conjuror's Apprentice
Finding the battered body of a young boy was not unusual in Bloody Mary's cruel England. However, the stabbed tongue, a false seal and strange letter implicate Princess Elizabeth, threatening to bring down the Tudor Dynasty.

Doctor John Dee and his secret apprentice, Margaretta, using his brilliant mind and her strange abilities, embark on a perilous journey to solve this brutal murder. Before their work can really begin, another body is found.

As Dee and Margaretta delve deeper into their investigation, they uncover a web of deceit, political intrigue and treachery that threatens to engulf them both. When more bodies are discovered and arrests are made, time is running out. With rumours of witchcraft and treason swirling around them, can they untangle the mystery before it's too late?

The Wolf's Shadow
1558: The body of Thomas Seymour is found hanging naked in an oak tree at Hatfield House, the home of Elizabeth Tudor, the Queen's sister. But Thomas Seymour was supposedly beheaded nine years to the day on Tower Hill. How did he return from the dead, only to die again?

Doctor John Dee and Margaretta, assisted by his pupil Christopher, are charged with unravelling the mystery. But then there is a kidnapping, a ransom threat and more bodies appear.

Amongst secrets and rumours, the scandal of the Seymour Affair threatens to resurface. Elizabeth's road to the throne could be ruined and with that comes the fall of the Tudor Dynasty.

Can John Dee keep Elizabeth's secret before it casts a shadow over them all?

The Cygnet Prince
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?

The Assassin's Mark
It is March 1570 and Elizabeth's court has just crushed the Northern rebellion that sought to throw her from the throne in favour of Mary Queen of Scots.
Relief is shattered when a body is found near the palace. The ritualistic killing, a cloven hoof-print, a calling card, and the terrifying message daubed on the wall, point to a long-forgotten pagan deity linked to the Templars.

John Dee and Margaretta must navigate a community under threat, a pattern of poisoning, a City in fear of a spectre, and the dark arts of rival queens as they race between England and the courts of France to uncover an assassin known only as Baphomet.
