Beschreibung

Shakespeare in Love meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith in this witty and thrilling story of star-crossed assassins in Elizabeth England, perfect for fans of My Lady Jane and TheGentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue!

When Lady Katherine's father is killed for being an illegally practicing Catholic, she discovers treason wasn't the only secret he's been hiding: he was also involved in a murder plot against the reigning Queen Elizabeth I. With nothing left to lose, Katherine disguises herself as a boy and travels to London to fulfill her father's mission, and to take it one step further -- kill the queen herself.

Katherine's opportunity comes in the form of William Shakespeare's newest play, which is to be performed in front of Her Majesty. But what she doesn't know is that the play is not just a play. It's a plot to root out insurrectionists and destroy the rebellion once and for all.

The mastermind behind this ruse is Toby Ellis, a young spy for the queen with secrets of his own. When Toby and Katherine are cast opposite each other as the play's leads, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another. But the closer they grow, the more precarious their positions become. And soon they learn that star-crossed love, mistaken identity, and betrayal are far more dangerous off the stage than on.

This had no right being so funny. I definitely wasn't expecting this. "What we've covered thus far: my name (Tobias Ellis to them; Duke Orsino to him); my occupation (watcher and cryptographer to them; player and playwright to him); my reputation (tarred and painted; this to everyone). What remains uncovered: everything else." A girl with an elaborate plot to kill the queen while playing in Shakespeare's Twelfth's Night. A boy spying for the queen and setting a play as a trap to catch a would-be assassin. Her: dressed as a boy to play a girl who dresses up as a boy. Him: pretending to be an actor, playing a boy who ends up falling for the girl dressed as boy. While also being into both boys and girls. My friends, the stage is set. What follows is pure fun.
