Get ready for thrills, intrigues, mystery and piracy all set in Tudor England and featuring a young man named Will Shakespeare..."I'd give anything for a good horse right now..." says young Will Shakespeare.

When Will gets mixed up in poaching, his father sends him away from Stratford in a band of travelling actors.

On the outskirts of London, a fierce storm forces them to take refuge at the house of Doctor Dee - Queen Elizabeth I's astrologer.

While there, they get caught up in a plot involving piracy, "magic" and the secret of the "Devil's Fire".

This is another compulsive "it could really have happened!" adventure by the author of "Leonardo and the Death Machine."
