THE SECRET LION

Book ID/图书代码： 06840010B35808

English Summary/英文概要： Set in Tudor England, THE SECRET LION introduces Brendan Prescott, a foundling reared in the Dudley household, as he arrives at court to serve as a squire to the arrogant Lord Robert Dudley.

Keen and ambitious, Brendan hopes to gain advancement in his new post - until Lord Robert dispatches him on an illicit mission to the King’s enigmatic sister, the Princess Elizabeth, and Brendan discovers that nothing in his world is as it appears.

A dark plot brews around Elizabeth’s quest to unravel the truth about her brother King Edward VI’s disappearance. Lured into her service as a spy, with only a bold stable boy and audacious lady-in-waiting at his side, Brendan plunges into a ruthless gambit of half-truths and lies, pitted against the wiles of a vengeful opponent who may hold the secret of his own mysterious birth - a secret that could shatter everything he believes in, and cast an inescapable shadow over him, Elizabeth, and the future of England itself.

THE SECRET LION is the first book in The Spymaster Chronicles, which depicts the rise of Brendan Prescott as a spymaster in the service of Elizabeth I.
