Synopses

The Angel's Mark

London, 1590: as Queen Elizabeth I’s grip on the kingdom wavers amid Spanish plotters, accusations of heresy and foreign wars, a killer targets the weak and destitute. Physician Nicholas Shelby sets out to stop the murders, working alongside Bianca, a mysterious tavern keeper. Their search draws them into a sinister plot, and with the killer still at large Nicholas faces an impossible choice.

The Saracen's Mark

England, 1593: five years after the Armada, Robert Cecil requires Nicholas Shelby to undertake another undercover mission, tied to keeping Bianca Merton safe. Travelling to Marrakesh to find a missing informer, Nicholas searches through back alleys and palaces for answers, only to uncover a deadly conspiracy. Back in London, the plague returns, threatening everything he values.

The Heretic's Mark

London, 1594: after the Queen’s physician is executed for treason, Nicholas Shelby is accused of involvement and must flee with Bianca, now his wife. Pursued by agents of the Crown, they head for Padua via the Via Francigena, joined by Hella, a fervently religious young woman. Reaching relative safety, they become entangled in a radical scheme, while Hella’s predictions and the murder of Bianca’s friend raise urgent questions about her intentions.
