Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Judith

NOt really my favorite by this author and I like almost everything by her. I think it felt a little forced and did not appreciate some of the characters. It was well written, the story was just not for me.......more

Goodreads review by Donnalee

HUGE SPOILERS AND DISAPPOINTMENT ************* So the politics were interesting, although the 'heroine', Elizabeth, is much less likeable to me than her brother from the first book. The HUGE SPOILER has to do with sexual scuzz. In ALL Mercedes Lackey's books that mention elves, 'good' elves are protec......more

Goodreads review by Katy

This third book of the series was the best yet, for me, and I'm so very glad I kept on reading! With Henry Vlll's death, his young, and vulnerable son, Edward, is now King, with his oldest sister, Mary, next in line, and then the redheaded, Elizabeth, next after that. For Elizabeth, her father's deat......more

Goodreads review by Kari

Loved it. Love lackey’s writing, love the interplay with history and fantasy, love taking characters like Titania and Oberón and making them real, love it all. The age difference in the romance is slightly off putting but that’s not sufficient for me to dock points.......more
