A TREASONOUS PLOT
England, 1586. Giordano Bruno, heretic turned spy, passes on vital
information to spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham. A band of Catholic Englishmen
are plotting to kill Queen Elizabeth and install Mary, Queen of Scots, on the
English throne.
A DEADLY TRAP
Walsingham, already aware of the plot, is allowing it to progress. He hopes
that Mary will put her support in writing – and condemn herself to a traitor's
death.
A QUEEN IN DANGER
Bruno must go undercover, join the conspirators and stop them. A queen is
destined to die; Bruno must make sure it is the right one…
