England in the sixteenth century is a country in turmoil.King Henry VIII's Reformation has left England divided between Catholics and Protestants.

As French ambassador, he witnesses the savagery of the St Bartholomew's Eve massacre, when Catholics slaughtered Protestants in their thousands, and he is determined England will never suffer the same fate. He begins to create an elaborate network of spies who will keep him informed of Catholic plots against Elizabeth, especially those that have Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots at their heart.Walsingham's mission is clear: to protect Elizabeth I from her enemies by whatever means necessary!
