What&’s worse, Marlowe was a spy for the queen, tasked with stalking a killer rumored to be part of an elusive order of assassins, and his secrets and untimely death have put Will under a harsh spotlight. Then, when Will unwittingly foils an attempt on the queen&’s life, she names him her next spymaster. Now, to avoid uncomfortable questions, prison, or an even more terrible fate, Will reluctantly starts his new career, which—yes—will secure him the resources to help his family…but at what cost? Adding insult to injury is the young Lord James Bloomsbury, Will&’s new comrade in arms, whose entitled demeanor and unfairly handsome looks get under Will&’s skin immediately. Together, the two hunt the cunning assassin, defend the queen&’s life, and pray to keep their own...all while an unexpected connection blossoms between them.
