Thomas Cromwell is dead but his legacy remains:When the consequences of failure could include beheading or an even more grisly end, the game is serious. Could you survive an undercover assignment in Tudor England?Five years since the northern rebellion against the Reformation, a rebel monk trying to survive Henry VIII’s purge of the ringleaders learns about a conspiracy that could rip apart the fabric of faith in England.Alerted by the monk, an undercover team assemble in York to gather clues before dispersing throughout England to stop the conspiracy whilst Henry, his wife of less than a year, Catherine Howard and, ironically, her lover Thomas Culpeper, make their way toward York.The offbeat team fighting against the impending Cataclysm includes Edward Fawkes, two sisters posing as washerwomen, a delusional and accident-prone adventurer, and, curiously, a mouse.If you enjoy quirky historical fiction combining humour, mystery, engaging and unpredictable characters as well as historical figures you know well and love (or hate!) this is for you.
