In this final volume, Lucy is asked to continue her work on behalf of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I. And her romance with Tomas, the queen's fool, seems to be flourishing - or it is until Mistress Juliette, the new lady-in-waiting, arrives and Tomas pays her far too much attention for Lucy's liking. But then Lucy realises that Juliette is telling lies and is not what she appears to be. Lucy fears for the safety of the queen as there are always supporters of Mary, Queen of Scots who are willing to risk all. How will Lucy convince Tomas of her fears when he just teases her and tells her that she is simply jealous? Desperate times call for desperate measures.

The writing was scattered; The characters were poorly developed; the plot was non developed and scattered.
Lucy is employed by Dr. Dee, a "magician" who makes potions and claims to see into the future. Through her position with Dr. Dee she peripherally comes in contact with Queen Elizabeth I. Set it the historical time period of Mary Queen of Scots plotting against Elizabeth, Lucy uncovers a spy working for Mary Queen of Scots who is a lady in waiting for Elizabeth. There is a sub plot of romance wherein Lucy hopes to gain the love of Thomas, the Queen's fool.
Again, all of this is a mish mash of tidbits of information loosely woven and poorly written.
On a quest to read books off the shelf, I grabbed this one from my Tudor History bookcase. I have another book by this author, I think I'll give both to the library.
No stars for this one!
