Leezie Sinclair is a wild Borders lass, who carries a knife to protect herself and her mother, once the queen's nurse, from her violent step-father. So how can she cope with 'civilised Edinburgh', where religious fanaticism, murder and treason lurk in the narrow, twisted lanes and minds of Scotland's capital city? How can she come to be the friend of black Kate Lenton, the gorgeous courtesan, John Knox's worst enemy? How can she fulfil her dream of working with the Queen's hawks? And most challenging of all, how can she save Mary, Queen of Scots, from the nobles and preachers plotting her ruin? The historical background is fact; Leezie and her family are inserted, to help tell the story of Mary's life.

Jack Downie is the best thief in London; he has to be, to pay Ivory Sal and her hulking, vicious sons from tormenting and maybe killing his tiny, frail sister Jess and big, slow-minded Joe. With the help of Frank Verney, an apprentice spy, and Susanna, can he save his family and also save Mary, Queen of Scots, from Queen Elizabeth's spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham, who is fanatically determined to have her executed. The Babington Conspiracy entangles the three youngsters, Susanna's mother, former courtesan Kate, and her lovely sister all in a wild, exciting adventure of religious and social turmoil and courage. The historical background is (almost) accurate; Jack, Susannah, Frank, and their families are inserted to tell the story of Mary, Queen of Scots.
