Elizabeth I has died. Science promises light where superstition offered shadows. Mared believes the old ways still have power but her father – minister, soldier, physician and Master of Cynvael – thinks his eldest daughter should be more like her sister Lizzie, a biddable advocate of this coming age of reason. When Mared uncovers dark arts as well as dark secrets in her father’s life, she must join with Lizzie to find truth – and to act.
