Wow was this exciting.
The novel starts in London in 1594.
Nicholas Shelby has just been accused of treason and attempting to poison the Queen.
Having just witnessed another royal physician suffer the same fate he isn't hanging around.
He grabs his wife Bianca and they high tail it to Padua.
While travelling Nicholas overhears and sees the final moments of a terrible murder.
At the scene is a terrified maiden called Hella Maas.
Fearing for her safety in case she is implicated they take her along with them.
But soon Hella shows weird traits, she is incredibly religious and keeps spouting prophecies about both Bianca and Nicholas but even more startling is her conviction she has seen the day of judgement.
Scared of their new travelling companion they start to wonder just who they rescued...
Oh my word this was relentless, such a good story and non stop action and great characters, even the bad ones!
A wonderful read.
