About this audiobook

Elvish Conspiracies Afoot! Heroine, Arise!

Trouble, trouble, the plots do bubble! King Henry VIII has finally joined his unmerry wives in the afterlife, and
the Unseleighe Sidhe, the Dark Elves, are bent on subverting the English throne and bringing back the sorrow, horror
and despair of the Middle Ages. After all, that’s what made the bad old days so much fun—for them!

Enlightenment’s hope? A mere fourteen-year-old girl. A bright and adaptable fourteen-year-old to be sure, but
still—what chance has such a young thing against the Unseleighe Sidhe’s tangled web of treachery and depravity?
A pretty good one. You see, the girl’s name is Elizabeth, and that fiery red hair is no lie. Whether immortal lord or
malicious mortal, young Elizabeth Tudor’s enemies cross her at their peril!

Two hugely popular master storytellers of historical fantasy brew up an elvish conspiracy for the ages in this
exciting sequel to This Sceptr’d Isle and Ill Met By Moonlight.
