‘Oh my word... fantastic... [The] stories intertwine so beautifully, it’s truly amazing. Such a lot of research must have to have been done but so worth it. I can’t recommend this book enough.’ NetGalley reviewer ????? Could a rediscovered map show her the way?

A historical novel that is written with extraordinary & wondrous detail,rendering its settings,its smells,its costumes,its culture,its Spanish & English wars of the seas,of Tudor England both a visceral & visual experience.Two timelines, the present day & 1569, are linked by loss, & a bloodstained Tudor map. Robyn Willoughby is stuck in a 7 year time warp denial that her sea investigating husband is lost at sea, while mapmaker Freida Ortelieus 🔽

kspenmoll 🔼is continuously facing dangers to her family,first in Spain as a child,when a purge of Huguenots results in the murder of her parents,then in London when at the Queens behest, her husband & son are involved in a secret mission to defeat the Spanish. This tome she will not let her family face possible death without her. 7mo
